Why do feel worse / more drunk if we throw up?

Question

As far as I understand, this is a natural mechanism to prevent being poisoned, so why does it actually feel so bad afterwards?

Answer 1

Vomitting dehydrates you further. A lot of the bad stuff you feel when drinking are because you’re dehydrated. Second, it’s a full body workout and you’re exhausted after it. It takes a lot to move upstream in the GI tract.
