Poll: Should I see a doctor?

[technoted]

to be honest it just seems like your a lightweight and maybe should stick to alchopops.

Mmm Enjoy Option # 3

Because it doesn't effect me if you don't wake up in the morning

You've probably damaged your liver, and the sick feeling you're getting is your body rejecting the alcohol because your liver is unable to process poisons or metabolise properly.

You should definitely go to the doctor, because whilst your liver cells can regenerate over time, they won't if you continue drinking.

Also don't be surprised if he refers you to the hospital to get a scan or x-ray of your abdomen, which will probably show a shadow or dark spot on your liver, that will be the dead or damaged liver cells.

Forgive the alarmist tone of this post, but it is potentially a very serious issue so I'm not going to sugar coat it for you... you should be alarmed and get yourself checked out as soon as possible.

OK.

I've just come back from a night out "on the lash" (this means drinking lots of alcohol, foreigners) and I was unable to consume any alcohol without feeling like I was about to puke. I made it to about 3 pints before it was a severe effort to actually drink anything. As I student this worries me as most of my social life revolves around getting "plastered" (inebriated) and I was once able to do 6 pints easily and make my 9am lecture.

I have been in this state ever since I left myself severely worse for wear on new years and ever since I have been unable to stomach alcohol. Do you reckon this is serious? Is it psychological or physical? I want your opinion!

Sounds like hyperacidity, see your doctor about it. I've got the same thing and if i miss my daily pill then alcohol especially makes my acid flare up like a ***** and makes me *extremely nauseaous.

 

[Julianking93]

Sounds like you should just stop drinking.

You know how people say "Oh my god, I'll never drink again" when they're hungover?

I think this is your body's way of forcing it on you...

I agree.

If you're abusing something, your body will tell you. If you won't listen, your body's gonna force you to stop what your doing.

I considered voting option number three, but since I've still got a pulse, I'd advise you to go to the doctor. I'd love to give you some advice, but I'm not an avid drinker. I'd say I even drink maybe one to five alcoholic beverages on a yearly basis, if it even is that many.

Yes I know, that's amazingly low for a man. Then again, I never was a big beer lover, which doesn't mean I don't like going out.

I don't drink at all, and I'm a man.

OT: Don't worry about it, just give it a couple of weeks then you'll be able to drink again. If the problem does persist though, definately go see a doctor.

 

[Chechosaurus]

No. I've had this before. It's just your body telling you to chill out and take a few nights off.

Not psychological. After years of abusing it, you've probably just finally killed your liver. Go cold turkey off alcohol. Seeing a doctor wouldn't hurt.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Yeah, where's the "Quit Drinking" option. That's my suggestion.

 

[vodkainferno]

I would suggest doctors... for all we know your liver is giving you a large SOS...
Your liver maybe going french...

If you know what I mean

Just switch to spirits.

Really, don't. If he's throwing up on 3 pints, spirits are a bloody terrible idea.

OT: If you have to ask, you need to go. On a side note, I also ended up in a state at new years, had my first drink since new years on saturday. You gave your liver a kicking, you probably just need to pull back for a bit and let it recover.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

Chances are this is a good thing, your liver will thank you if this causes you to give up the juice.

Now if only they could put this in pill form, every AA group would hand them out like blue and red candy.

 

[ExaltedK9]

Youneedtoask yourself how much alchohol meansto you.

Priorities man.

 

[CouchCommando]

Cut back the drinking for a while ,don't take antibiotics!!!, don't drink hard liquor either, go for a beer that's brewed in the bottle, sounds like you've killed your digestive tracts natural flora, Yeah I did the same thing a while back, eat shit loads of fruit, veges and yogurt, plus down some of that good gut bacteria shit you can get your hands on in most health food shops. Increase your in take of water as well. Either you were drinking on an empty stomach, drinking waaay to much or drinking whilst taking medication, all result in the same shit.

 

[Smudge91]

Cutting out the alcohol for a while would be my advice. I'd probably go to the doctor and just get yourself checked out.

 

[Noone From Nowhere]

See a doctor and stop drinking unless it's medicine or a health drink...and even then, you should drink in moderation.
If you're thrifty, maybe you could see a medical student? The important thing is that you should consult somebody with medical training if you don't have doctors or nurses in your family(like some of us have...not that they'd treat us for free. What's family for?!).

 

[Sigel]

???
Really?? "facepalm"
1)Yes, go see a doctor. Have some blood work done and possible a liver test done.
2)Stop drinking. Obviously your body wants you to stop. Nausea is the body's polite way of telling you to stop eating/drinking something. Believe me, you don't want to go past polite.
3)Just a suggestion but maybe you should reavaluate your social past times.

 

[WolfMage]

It's psychological.
You got way the fuck too hammered on New Years, so now you react poorly (See: violently ill) when you try to drink.
Wait a few weeks, you might be able to stomach it then.

 

[inpachi]

Well lets get my check list out!

1: Have you had a very very very VERY bad hangover at all lately?(If so then it might just be what every person gets, the feeling of nausea and sickness whenever you see any type of alcohol.. Even if your hangover goes away i have had this feeling for days.. After getting wasted out of my mind off whiskey and wine.. And well lets just say i couldn't drink again for at least a month..)

2: Have you blacked out at all? Do you have a memory blanks for certain times? Do you get sharp pains like needles all over your body?(If so then this is a clear sign of alcohol poisoning, IF YOU HAVE THIS YOU NEED TO STOP DRINKING NOW AND TAKE A BREAK FOR A FEW WEEKS! IF YOU CONTINUE IT WILL BECOME LIFE THREATENING!)

3: Have you taken drugs with your alcohol? If so this might be the side effects.. And if it gets worse you might have to have your stomach pumped!


I hope that helped i covered all the basics there.. I have been plastered many a times before so i know what your going threw..

 

[brunothepig]

Sounds like you should just stop drinking.

A perfect first post. What's so fun about "getting plastered"? You get really drunk, waste a lot of money, make an ass of yourself, wake up with a hangover and, if you're lucky, forget it all.
