Alcohol and drinking too much of it.

My cousin and I were having a discussion after I had a bit too much to drink one night and I ended up bowing before the throne.

If you drink too much, and end up throwing it up, how much of it counts as caloric intake?

Let's say I have like 10 pints of IPA, 3 shots of tequilla, and I throw it all up, how many calories is that?

Anyone have a matrix or equation for this situation...?

...or do I just declare it a "Free day" and forget calculus?

    Topic of the Day, the Week, maybe even the Month :)

    We also need definitive answers to how many calories are burnt during the throwing up.

    Not only that, but when you drink 10 pints, you also pee more. Usually after the 3rd pint and then at least once per pint (sometimes twice) so how many calories simply get pissed away?

    Of course, then you have to factor in the full-English fryup/Greggs sausage rolls the next day to soak up the pints - unless of course you are so ill, you can't eat for days :laugh:

    I actually use a Del Taco Combo Burrito (450 calories) and some unsweetened iced tea (0 calories) for my hangover cure. If you have a Del Taco around, or any american-mexican food really, I recommend that as a good hangover cure.

    So, how do you drink that much? That's like 3000 calories if you keep it down :noway: I think I might be hoping to purge those. No offense to the Ana/Mia crowd.
