When was the last time you threw up?

03/28/2008 steve "i'll give you an hour to stop that" n. says:

about 16 years ago. tried a shot of every tequila in the bar. and that's all i can really remember.
not much of a story i know.

03/28/2008 Jessika "Man Cougar" D. says:

I HATE throwing up. It is the worst. The last time was about a month ago. I had a 24 hour flu or something. I put it off for hours until I finally had to. I didn't make it to the toilet, but made it to right outside the bathroom. Even though I hadn't eaten in hours, you would think I had eaten a feast.  I did it 4 times in a row before my body decided it was done.

That is gross.

03/28/2008 Ashley O. says:

Oh good story, I had eaten a ton of sushi and my brand new bf of all of a month decided to come by. I told him I didnt feel good but he was pretty insistent we go to his house to hang out with his friends. I am getting worse and worse by the minute and crawl into his bed to try and fall asleep. Fast forward to 3 AM and I barely am able to crawl over him and dive in his trash can. I proceed to barf up my socks for about 15 minutes in my underwear. It was one of the most embarassing moments of my life. Hope it chears you boring friday. (Havent eaten sushi in a year)

03/28/2008 Amanda "Donewtichooo" H. says:

I just threw up right now after reading the title of this thread.

I don't remember, I think it was the last Elite event last year, when I drank WAY too much, and I haven't drank that much ever since.  I've learned my lesson.

03/28/2008 Tom "///" E. says:

haha - you barfed into your socks

i guy i was at Uni with came back from the nightclub minus his underwear. Next day he told us he went to the bathroom accidently puked into his underpants and then decided to flush them away instead of washing them.

03/28/2008 Chloe "Guerita" D. says:

when i went snowboarding up at cannon. too many vitamins on an empty stomach.

03/28/2008 Coffee Anyone "Miss Coffee if you're nasty" ,. says:

i have meniere's disease and had a bad bout of it a couple of years ago - it's this inner ear thing that can suddenly throw off your balance & you're so dizzy you have to be in bed, you can't see straight (all kinds of bad stuff).  anyhoo, it also makes you nauseous if you try to get up.  thankfully i made it to the bathroom in time.  no vomiting since then thank god.

03/28/2008 Tom "///" E. says:

eww Chloe - nobody eat the pink snow with carrots in

03/28/2008 Don W. says:

I had labyrinthitis a few years ago & it soulds a lot like Coffee's "meniere's disease".  Viral inner ear thing that makes you really nauseous & so dizzy that you'll want to keep your eyes closed when you're riding in a car.  Seasickness pills fixed it quickly.

03/28/2008 Kristin "is it summer yet?" G. says:

My birthday a few weeks ago. I rarely drink to excess, but i totally overdid it with grape lemonade martinis, and then someone ordered some shots. THe night ended in vomit, and I felt SO gross the next day. Hangovers are totally different when you're pushing 30, as a funny episode of scrubs points out.

03/28/2008 Devon W. says:

First day of 2008.  We went to a small party for NYE, and I mixed cheap beer and cheap champagne, and snacky things like guacamole and hot nuts.  I regretted it that morning.  It was horrible.  I puked up the devil, and felt better after scrubbing my teeth and went back to bed for hours.

03/28/2008 Bridget D. says:

When I was in college, I was talked into getting a nose ring. (It was not a good look for me).   One morning while I was in the shower, the nose ring fell out.  I went to my room to try to get it back in. I was struggling and poking, but it just wouldn't go back in the hole.  All of a sudden I started to get cramps in my stomach.  I ran to the trash can and my towel fell off.  I was hugging the trash can, naked, and  I started to puke.  My boyfriend at the time just sat back and laughed.  

After the puking, I fell asleep for a few hours. When I woke up I tried once more with the nose ring and it went right in.
weird.

03/28/2008 Joe "Take That, HARD" L. says:

The last time I threw up was roughly 3 years ago.  I had a nasty head cold and my nose was flowing like the Charles.  So that night, I accidentally slept on my back the whole time, allowing all the snot to flow freely into my stomach.  When my dorm-mate woke me when he left that morning, I ran to the bathroom and spent 30 minutes watching mucus and stomach acid mix in the bowl.

When my germophobic roomie came back, he thought I had the flu and had two of his friends wipe down our dorm room with lysol wipes.  He caught the cold two days later and played it off as the flu, getting lots of attention from his friends.  Not long after that, I moved out of that room.  That kid was awful.

03/28/2008 kelli "Puma" r. says:

A few weeks ago.
It was the day of my birthday brunch at Lucky's. I had gone out the night before and had a massive hangover. I took some alka seltzer and it didn't help. Then I made myself a shot of wheatgrass and apple juice.
I tossed green liquid for about an hour.

Felt better though.

03/28/2008 Amanda "Donewtichooo" H. says:

THAT was the last time???? Holy crap, I remember that.  It would be easy to throw up when you have a roommate like him.  

One of his "friends" took the remote from me (we were watching TV) so she could "disinfect it".  I think I might have given it back to Joe after she was done with it.

03/28/2008 Jenna "The C stands for Clique" C. says:

Last friday after Jeff and I went to Machine.
I felt fine but as soon as I got into bed I started to get dizzy and decided the only way to get any sleep was to make myself puke. And here's where it gets gross: so I puked red. but I didn't remember having anything red ALL day. So I was a little freaked and woke up my roommate. But instead of waiting up to see if something was really wrong I decided if I was bleeding from my stomach I'd rather die in my sleep and went to bed.

The next morning while talking to Jeff I mentioned the red puke and he reminded me that we had a couple redheaded sluts (insert lesbian joke here) and I'm an idiot.

The end.

03/28/2008 Yihwa "Ninja Flash" H. says:

Almost did and just barely did not last week in Costa Rica. I'd just had a little accident with a quad bike in the rainforest, after driving that quad through the bumpy roads back to our cabins, wolfing down lunch (which was yummy tho) and then a 1.5hr bus ride towards a ferry on yet more bumpy roads then the shaky water in the rain... my stomach was really not being agreeable. I just about managed to keep it down though and it was still a really fun day.

Last time I actually did throw up I think was a month or so ago I guess, maybe two months?! I can't remember exactly. Really sick with cold/flu/bug/something nasty and my body just wanted to expunge stuff, I guess. Fun fun.

03/28/2008 Yihwa "Ninja Flash" H. says:

Tom, where is YOUR story?! Huh?? :P

03/28/2008 Fanciulla "don't forget to bring a towel" G. says:

i was filming a podcast... got to the set, everyone had been drinking a little bit- i hadn't eaten since noon, it was 10pm.. i drank 2 glasses of wine and a beer and spent the rest of the night dry heaving over the toilet. it was painful... and we couldn't finish the episode so i felt really bad too. never drink on an empty stomach.

i have other really horrifying stories involving vomit. they are not talk friendly tho. maybe next event after i've had a few. wink.

03/28/2008 Susan "Just call me Karen.  Or Sharon.  Like it matters." N. says:

Oh, like two weeks ago?  Unfortunately for me, I throw up so easily.  At least 12 times a year.  I found if I don't get enough sleep and don't drink enough water, I end up throwing up so now I drink as much as I can especially when I haven't gotten enough sleep.

As for the last time, my friend drove me home and I was pretty sober, despite having these monster sized beers.  When I went to lay down, I had this feeling of "oh no, I'm going to throw up" and I felt like if I went to sleep it would go away.  Well, it just got worse and worse so I leaned over into the bucket (yes, I keep a bucket nearby because that's how often I throw up) and blech.  Then it was 3 weeks before that.  Then I don't know how long before that but I'm sure it wasn't more than 4 weeks.

03/28/2008 Tom "///" E. says:

My dad sometimes gets motion sickness from playing video games. I once played Doom 2 for an hour against him. I won, we stopped playing, he stood up and threw up. haha - it was fukcing awesome.

03/28/2008 jeremy "more adidas sneakers than a plumbers got pliers" k. says:

Halloween 11th grade.  i drank 2/5 of southern comfort in about 10 minutes, then proceeded to swim across the floor and then we got int he car to go to the "cool" neighborhood in which as soon as we got there i proceed to undrink in the street.  after my "friends" left me in the middle of the street and in a pool of most likely SOCO, they picked me up, jammed me in the car and then drove me home.  once at my address, they opened my front door and threw me inside to which i found my mother sitting at the kitchen table.

"did you have fun jer?"
"nah, there was mmggffiorrocfui"  something else to this effect, and afterwhich i went upstairs to my room and the best gift a child has ever had, his own bathroom, to which i vomited in my pants and floor and bed and anywhere else....for the next 18 hours.

no more soco ever again, not a drop never...no no no

03/28/2008 Jamie A. says:

barfed yesterday, buuuuuttt the best time had to be when I went to see Of Montreal at Cornell in Ithaca, NY in 2005. When the bass is turned up really crazy high, I barf. So does my bro. He got kicked out of a school dance when he was 12 because he barfed and they figured he'd been boozin'.

Soooooo I was all crayzay-dancing-time all over the place and then I ran out to the parking lot, as to not ralph all over Kevin Barnes's beaaaaautiful makeup face (he was slightly less douche-y in 2005) aaaand exploded. word.

03/28/2008 Coffee Anyone "Miss Coffee if you're nasty" ,. says:

vomiting in your pants is so cool, jeremy.  

cure for hangover prior to the hangover:  one drink, one glass of water, another drink, another glass of water.  works like a frikkin charm.

03/28/2008 Kristin "is it summer yet?" G. says:

If you take a multi vitamian and drink some gatorade before bedtime after a night out, it usually works like a charm

03/28/2008 Chloe "Guerita" D. says:

i know right, least it wasn't off the chair lift. these things happen, probably before that ...I definitely threw up at annie's after a night of hardcore partying, ending with me drinking off a bottle of VO that had been open for like 4 years an doing shots of ouzo.  
i think everyone threw up that night, except for annie. she was just dead for the next 12 hours

03/28/2008 Nadya R. says:

haha Chloe, I didn't throw up, it would've been better tho :-/

I don't remember the last  time since I normally don't throw up, but the one I remember was around 2 years ago @ home, it was on a bus on my way to Tijuana to visit my bff, longest 2 hours in my life, I woke up all fresh but everything went bad after 20 minutes in the bus. not cool.

03/28/2008 jeremy "more adidas sneakers than a plumbers got pliers" k. says:

i know this girl who says, sniffy the bowl and you'll puke it out

meaning, sniff the back of the toilet and that's a guarantee for undrinking..

03/28/2008 Allix "granny sunglasses" T. says:

months ago right before I had to have my stomach xrayed. I had to fast for three days straight and then down three bottles of laxative to make sure I was all ready for the doc. Yeah, three days of no food plus chugging bottles of fizzy lemony chemicals - it all came right back up. I've never felt so awful in all of my life. I started to cry because I'm a wuss.

03/28/2008 Christopher "Zoot skipped the the groove again" M. says:

about 1.3 years ago at Christmas.

Every few years, I got what I call "the lucky charms" sickness, so named because when I get this little stomach bug the first thing that happens is that I have to burp a lot, and my burps taste just like I ate a bow of lucky charms.  Then, after a few hours, my burps are followed by violent vomiting that usually lasts through the night.  Usually after a few hours of this shangri-la of mine, I have to start burning candles or incense or something.  ANYTHING in the bathroom to kill the lucky charms burp scent (it over powers the vomit), because if I don't, there slightest  waft of it sends my stomach into labor.

And that's why I don't get near lucky charms anymore

03/28/2008 Nicole "Mongie" M. says:

I kind of wish my burps would taste like Cocoa Puffs, Christopher. Together, our aroma would be so overpowering it would take over the world.

I can't remember the last time I threw up. Let's keep it that way.

03/28/2008 Erica "Redheaded Stepchild" S. says:

The day after my bff's bachelorette party in January-- my mom was driving me to the bus station to go back to Boston, and she kept having to pull over to the side of the road for me to puke. I was absoutely miserable!

My mom asked, "what the hell did you drink?"

And I responded, "Just some vodka, and some tequila, and some rum, and some gin, and some whiskey, and some beer, and some goldschlager!!!"

03/28/2008 Russ "Chloe Ligaya Shannon Jeffrey Kabir Damien" S. says:

like three months ago.
but the best time was the first time i got drunk, when i didnt know you should just "get it out"
and i projectile vomited pizza barf all over my friends toilet, toothbrushes, sink, toilet paper stash, floor, and wall

03/28/2008 Chloe "Guerita" D. says:

allix, i cry when i barf sometimes too!

"ohh gahhh im so pathetic, maaaaahmmm"

03/28/2008 Allix "granny sunglasses" T. says:

yeah - huge cry fest - I was so happy that I lived alone and there weren't witnesses :-P

03/28/2008 Chloe "Guerita" D. says:

one time i was told i was crying while talking to myself while throwing up, and then mustve fallen asleep in the shower cuz i was in there for over an hour.

03/28/2008 Sean M. says:

just now after reading all the passive aggressive Boston trashing going on today.
I hate to throw-up but.
I induce vomiting if I think I drank too much, a survival skill learned in college.
Haven't had to do this in a long time.

03/28/2008 Kabir "Plaidypus" H. says:

I remember going out for drinks once and it wasn't until I was home that I realized I had skipped out on dinner.. So being trashed and lazy, I just ate a giant bowl of fruity pebbles. 20 minutes later and it looked like an art installation in the bathroom.

03/28/2008 Allix "granny sunglasses" T. says:

this thread is so gross - and I kinda love it

03/28/2008 Sarah M. says:

i have so many good barf stories, they're my favorite. last time i threw up was 9/11/07. i know this because it's an anniversary of mine (nothing to do with terrorists) and my best friend took me out to dinner at not your average joes. we had 3 bottles of wine and LOTS of the bread with olive oil and salads. i managed to get myself home, called an ex to express my undying love, hang up abruptly, barf my brains out, and then call back - and proceed to pass out mid-sentence while talking.

03/28/2008 Suzanne "Hella Enthusiasm" G. says:

Not the last time I threw up, but the first time my daughter threw up.
We happened to be visiting my parents at Christmastime, and I and then my husband came down with the flu.  We were both sick as dogs, on the sofa bed, dashing back and forth to the toilet. bad enough to be sick in your own home, but it is worse when you're in someone else's place, going and throwing.  
Then my daughter, who was then about 3 years old, started feeling awful.  My mom rushed her in to the bathroom and told her to throw up into the toilet.  Between fits of puking she would say one syllable  "  This...is...reee....dick....oo oo....lous."  
My mom had to keep herself from laughing.
Poor little Jussi.

03/28/2008 Sarah M. says:

my favorite puke story isn't mine, it's a friend of mine... she was only 19 or 20 at the time but went to a bar with her fiance and his friends, and the waitress never carded her. after several hours of shot/beer/shot/beer/shot/beer, they went back to her fiance's parents house and she threw up in the car and all the way up the driveway. he got her inside, cleaned her up, and put her to bed, and the next morning when she came downstairs, the whole family was standing at the window looking outside. she said, 'what's going on?' and they said, 'we just don't understand it. there are like a hundred squirrels, chipmunks, and birds eating shepards pie on the driveway. how did the leftover shepards pie from last night get all over the driveway?'

Wow,  Nicole. That's a really sick idea.  I LOVE IT!!!

Maybe to really round out the scent though we should introduce a hint of fruityness; say Boo-Berry?

03/28/2008 Ashley O. says:

Sarah-that is one of the best stories ever.  I am still laughing

03/28/2008 Laura "The Italian Scallion" M. says:

About four years ago, sophomore year of college. The guy I was dating took me out for Indian food and a movie. I enjoyed the Indian food but spent half the movie in the bathroom, feeling really sick yet not able to bring myself to hurl. Finally went back to my date, sat through end of movie. Went to the bathroom to pee before we left the theater and as soon as I sat down on the toilet, everything came up. I had to do a "stand n' spin" and still got some puke on me, uggghh. Spent the next few days lying in bed miserable, sipping a juice box and occasionally running to the bathroom to dry heave. The boyfriend at the time made fun of me for being a sick wuss, until HE got the same bug and was waylaid for a week. Ha ha, fucker.

I couldn't eat Indian food for like a year. :-/

03/28/2008 C L. says:

i don't puke that often, at the end of college i did puke on a girl while making out with her....

there was "jungle juice" at a party , who knows what was in there but it was red and it burned when you drank it.  fast forward to my friend calling his girlfriend to pick us up from this party...i found myself in a jungle juice influenced makeout session with a friend in the dark basement of this party... we left to get in the car, we sat in the back squished at the end between a couple other people and my buddy's girlfriend starts YELLING at him for being so drunk because he was supposed to get lunch with her parents tomorrow or something.  anyway she starts WHIPPING around corners and accelerating real hard because she's pissed at him, while i'm an idiot vegetable kind of going at it in the back seat.  we were just getting to campus when I kind of pulled away and BLAAARGGH-- a little on her lap, a little on mine, a little on the seat in front of me, on the door .... i opened the car door and rolled out onto the side of the road (i remember it was POURING rain out at the time too) and my buddy got out with me laughing as i finished off and we walked back in the rain.  Didn't really talk to that girl much after that, although I did try to give her a call that night to see if she was ready for round 2....

03/28/2008 Sarah M. says:

this one is from sophomore year in college. my friend and i went to a WAAF concert in some park in worcester by ourselves because we'd gotten into fights with our boyfriends, who left without us. they happened to park right next to us in the lot about a half mile from the concert. After a long day of being pissed and listening to crappy headbangy music in the heat, kelly and i went back to the car, where she had a bunch of wine coolers. they were hot, like bubbling hot, from being in the car.

so, derek and joe happen to be back in the car next to us, smoking weed with the windows up. kelly and i get into her car, with the windows up, and start drinking the hot wine coolers. i chugged mine in about 8 seconds, then felt a massive burp brewing. i turned my head towards derek to burp AT him but instead, the hot wine cooler and everythign i ate for lunch came shooting out like a firehose.

the funniest part about it was not that i threw up in the car,  but the fact that to derek, it appeared as though i intended to puke firehose-style all along. i mean, i looked at him and deliberately opened my mouth (for the burp) but we all got a little more than expected.

03/28/2008 Kirs P. says:

February 14, 2008.  I was getting PADI Open Water certified in Vieques.  I was having trouble staying underwater- my air had depleted and I started floating to the top, where the seas were a bit rough.  I kept trying to get back down, but it was no use.  I started floating to the top when I knew it was going to happen.  I barely got my regulator out in time.  I was exhausted and crying and puking, puking, puking.  Poor Alex R. had to tow me back to shore and swim through copious amounts of my vomit.  That, dearies, is true love.

03/28/2008 Craig "call me Cappy" C. says:

it really speaks volumes about Yelp what threads take off around here.

03/28/2008 Tom "///" E. says:

I do my best Craig.

YiHwa - my last vomit was not that interesting. I was out at Underbar last summer where some douche was buying round after round of shots for us and it was becoming clear that driving the car home was not going to be safe for the lady. I hotstepped it to the bathroom, did fingers in throat and performed an operation known in England as 'The tactical chunder'.

03/28/2008 Melissa "Fuckin" A. says:

I throw up all the time. I threw up the other day. I think I'm just not meant to drink and I'll have tiny little stubs for teeth when I'm 35. My best throw up story is here: http://tiny.cc/PcY8v

I throw up whenever I see Craig.

03/28/2008 Shannon "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On" B. says:

I'm not sure when the last time was honestly.... But it may well have been the time I threw up ALL over Devon W's bathroom in 2006. It went like... everywhere.

03/28/2008 Coffee Anyone "Miss Coffee if you're nasty" ,. says:

BEST vomit story:

Bus trip in grade school to Hyannis to pick up ferry to Nantucket.  I was sitting at the window seat near the front with my best friend all excited to go.  We got about 30 minutes out of Boston and everyone on the bus discovered that the driver was like Mario Andretti or someone and got me and a few others to puking out the windows on the highway.  So, the uber cool kids way at the back of the bus had my breakfast smattered on their windows and got to look at it all the way to Hyannis.

03/28/2008 Irina G. says:

In November, after a meal at the Other Side.

Melissa, that review was useful and funny but not cool.

03/28/2008 Matt "Elite in Training" K. says:

Last Monday actually.  I had been feeling sick all weekend but couldn't get in to see a doctor because it was the weekend.  I woke up Monday morning, feeling a little bit better, but as soon I stood up I felt a punch to my stomach.  Walked over to the bathroom as calm as could be, lifted the lid and proceeded to expel just about every drop of fluid in my body (and before you ask, no alcohol was involved).

I actually ended up going to the E.R soon after that for dehydration problems, it took them four attempts to find a vein in my dehydrated arms.

03/28/2008 Melissa "Fuckin" A. says:

God. I have another review where I vomit and it got ROTD: http://tiny.cc/Ztigi

03/28/2008 Melissa "Fuckin" A. says:

I used to make little barf bags [it was just a brown paper bag that I drew flowers and bumblebees on] for my dad's car when I was wee. I don't think he had a vomit problem. I think it was for me :(

03/28/2008 Brian "Methy Hobo" D. says:

Last time I threw up was when I ate strange Russian food, I blame the eel something or other and the little ravioli things that smelled like cod liver oil - http://www.yelp.com/bi...

03/28/2008 Jocelyn "I am not Melissa A.!" C. says:

I think that Meh should only be allowed to review places if there's vomit involved.

I, on the other hand, never throw up. I'm the good twin.

03/28/2008 Daniel S. says:

Last time I threw up was in D.C. with Lizard.  We went to a birthday part for one of her friends and I started drinking like nobodies business.  I had a couple vodka tonics, then I noticed a bottle of red wine, so I opened it, and drank red wine and coke (almost the whole bottle), then I demanded everybody do a shot of Jack with me, and poured, like seven or something, and nobody wanted to do them, so I did them all, in a row.  We went to a club and I think I was drinking beer.

Anyways, I left (because "I'm beginning to find guys attractive that I didn't at the beginning of the night.") and I hollered at my taxi driver to pull over, walked to the sidewalk and threw up.  It was (as I described to my friend later) "the most brilliant shade of burgundy!"  It was.  It was weirdly smooth and this gorgeous red color and I just kept vomitting it ALL OVER the sidewalk.

Once I was done, the cab driver popped out, wiped my face off, threw me in the back of the cab and drove me back to my hotel.  I think I was doing that drunken-head-roll "I'm so sorry, man.  Man, I'm so, just, yeah, like, man, so sorry."

He got a big tip.

03/28/2008 Bo "Screaming for Vengeance" W. says:

Instead of the last time, I'll just tell the funniest vomit story, which is amazing in its succinctness- the story tells itself.

All I have to say is "White Russian Party."

I like reviews where Meh throws up.

03/28/2008 Dirgni S. says:

January 2000. I'd had surgery the day before and had been drinking cranberry juice all morning.  Suddenly, I had post-surgical nausea and puked red liquid across the room like I was Linda Blair in the Exorcist.

03/28/2008 John T. says:

I'm going to second what Coffee said about buffering your drinks with full glasses of water. Works perfectly. You can get good and hammered to where you're stumbling around everywhere. If you have glasses of water between your drinks (especially when you start to get really drunk), no hangover. Works every time. Food helps too.

03/28/2008 Katie "Part-time model" S. says:

Two weeks ago. I had spent several hours drinking out in Cambridge with my friends Matt and Dave, and decided to crash at another friend's place instead of going back home to Allston. Once I got there I laid down on my friend's bed, realized I was about 800 times drunker than I had originally thought, and asked my friend to drive me home. We were on our way out the door when I realized there was no way in hell I was going to survive the car ride back, and so I went into the bathroom to puke.
I was sitting on the floor for what felt like hours, but couldn't manage to pull the trigger. My friend came in, and told me that I either needed to get it up, or promise that I wouldn't puke during the ride home. I told him I couldn't promise anything, and so he looked at me and said, "You have 5 minutes. Go." So I stuck my finger down my throat and puked. I also puked again in a trashcan on the drive back...a trashcan that my friend had to clean out when he got back to his apartment that night.

03/28/2008 Chris "Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me" R. says:

Other than food poisoning about a year ago...it was probably like 7 years ago. I just come out of a very very bad two year relationship. I celebrated my new found freedom by getting wasted. Let's just say...I was pretty free that night.
