Why do I puke more than once when I've been drunk? (lemmy.ml)

So I've been drinking and it becomes like I drink water and I puke right away. So it's like what's the point of puking if I can't get rid of all the toxicant in one go. I end up just puking whatever I put in. I assume puking is good but yeah I don't get the point if it can't be just a one time thing.

Take a bag, fill it with water, and grip it loosely at the top so all your fingers wrap around like a loose fist.

Now, without turning the bag, use your other hand to empty it by squeezing out the water.

You get most of it out, but there's still some in there, even if you squeeze violently and it seems like nothing else can come out.

Also, for most of human history, if you've poisoned yourself ingesting something, chances are the next thing you're ingesting is still poisoned. It's only recently we've worked out distilled poison and purified water. So, biologically speaking, better to just be sick for a day so you can get to a different water/food source.
