when you're sick throwing up can be such a fucking relief EXCEPT FOR THIS. bleahhhhhhhghhhhhhhhhhhhhh with every swallow a reiteration of acidic bad times you're trying to forget. is there some well-known folk-wisdom solution? halp!

i believe in ancient times they used "listerine"

how often do you throw up, "doctor casino"?

― cutty, Friday, 21 September 2007 00:48 (nineteen years ago)

what are you trying to say, cutty?

are you feeling queasy right now? i usually pound like six raw eggs then wash it down with a big mug of hot whiskey.

ginger ale, seven-up, sprite or what have you

what about teh mountain dews

― cutty, Friday, 21 September 2007 01:09 (nineteen years ago)

i knew i could count on you guys. the ginger ale angle is good, i always think of that as something just to settle my stomach but it would make sense as a throat-washer too. i'm slowly sipping ginger tea right now and crossing my fingers.

lucozade

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 21 September 2007 01:26 (nineteen years ago)

ooh yes lucozade would also be excellent

the mountain dews are too syrupy

― El Tomboto, Friday, 21 September 2007 01:27 (nineteen years ago)

i don't believe crossing your fingers will make any difference, it doesn't sound very scientific to me.

― estela, Friday, 21 September 2007 01:33 (nineteen years ago)

IT TOTALLY WORKED

― Doctor Casino, Friday, 21 September 2007 01:39 (nineteen years ago)

i have never heard of Lucozade before, how does it compare to Gator/Powerade?

― Doctor Casino, Friday, 21 September 2007 01:39 (nineteen years ago)

it strips all taste out of your mouth and replaces it with artificial orange-ish fizz

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 21 September 2007 01:41 (nineteen years ago)

i'm glad someone on here is being scientific, i am a great one for a hypothesis.

So, equal-parts bragging and shame-pants.

I went out the other night, totally broke, just to see an acquaintance at a bar. Somehow, I ended up getting fed free beers and "Irish Car BoMB", and then more beers aftah hours...and, if history is any guide, I never, ever black out from drinking, but, disturbingly, during drunk sleep-in, woke up with a spot of vomit on my shirt, and had a vague recollection of dry-heaving with just a spot of liquid stomach juices landing on me...

The next day, I found the hoody-sweatshirt I wore that night thrown across the floor; and, blah, it was caked in vomit residue. wtf? apparently I almost died choking on my vomit that night that morning

da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, feeling sheepish

I usually find that a few bites of bread clings to the sides of yr throat just enough to drag all that acid back down where it belongs. Can't help you with the stuff that goes up your nose, though.

― Laurel, Friday, 21 September 2007 04:39 (nineteen years ago)

Also yeah, mouthwash -- although I use Targon, because I smoke.

― Laurel, Friday, 21 September 2007 04:40 (nineteen years ago)

Another beer.

― Noodle Vague, Friday, 21 September 2007 06:04 (nineteen years ago)

― rrrobyn, Friday, 21 September 2007 08:08 (nineteen years ago)

― rrrobyn, Friday, 21 September 2007 08:09 (nineteen years ago)

― rrrobyn, Friday, 21 September 2007 08:09 (nineteen years ago)

― rrrobyn, Friday, 21 September 2007 08:10 (nineteen years ago)

Depends where you put those fingers.
