I wasn’t drunk, so what was this?

I'm convinced it was this.

This is what I get. If I’m in the sun, I have to drink double my normal amount of water. Coupled with not eating enough and I’d definitely have a migraine. Throw in some alcohol and I’d have a miserable migraine

What's a
long drink?

The exact same thing happened to me once after spending the day on a boat (extreme sleepiness to the point that I felt like I was going to pass out and then throwing up).

I wasn’t drinking but likely didn’t have enough water and that, combined with the heat and motion of the boat, really messed with me.

It’s a good reminder to stay hydrated when outside in the heat and to be cautious drinking in these scenarios as it exacerbates dehydration

Interesting. I had something like this happen but 1) it was a glass of champaigne, not 4 drinks and 2) I hadn't been in the sun all day.

It's not a lot of alcohol when you are a fit, well-hydrated 21 year old. But when you are old and dehydrated and in the sun all day, yeah, that amount of alcohol is brutal. You don't have a hangover because the body did its job and made you puke. Very classy. But your body did you a favor and expelled what it absorbs as poison as efficiently as possible.

Same. OP has nothing better to do but ruminate on this one afternoon?

Huh? She had health symptoms that she’s never experienced before and couldn’t explain. What else is the health forum for, if not for posts like this?

Your post is the odd one.

I think you were drunk and you are lying about how much you drank.

+1 I'm in my 40s and I can't have even one drink in the sun anymore. It makes me feel shaky and sick and then I get a headache.

Were you sitting near back of boat/exhaust fumes?

I drank about 40oz over the entire day.

thats not nearly enough for a regular day

Heat exhaustion mixed with light drunkenness and dehydration.

My guess your stomach didn’t like having a bunch of alcohol sloshing around in there from the movement of the boat on a near-empty stomach, exacerbated by the heat. That would make me nauseous for sure. Once there was nothing to keep upsetting your stomach since most was on the ground somewhere, you were fine.

If I was drunk, how was I suddenly completely fine afterwards, with no hangover? I’ve been drunk many many times, unfortunately, and it doesn’t get easier the older you get. I know what it’s like, and you don’t puke and feel better, and you sure don’t wake up feeling refreshed.

Seriously, how old are you? You don't know that vomiting means no hangover? You should extremely sheltered.

Um, this isn’t true at all. Hangovers are often caused from dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Vomiting only exacerbates this. Where did you hear vomiting cures hangovers? This is crazy lol

Binge drinker logic.

All vomiting does is reduce alcohol poisoning.
