    The report published by The Intermedia Group, the group that publish TheShout.com.au, detailed demographics about alcohol consumers.

    The report aimed to highlight how often people drink, what they drink and where they are drinking. This allowed researchers to develop a profile of Australian drinking habits not previously available.

  • Why You Vomit After Drinking

    Have you ever spent time huddled over the toilet after a night out, well you’re not alone, almost everyone has.

    While some people do it on purpose, to feel better after over-indulging, for some people it’s involuntary. In fact according to a study by the University of Dallas, alcohol can actually act as an irritant and upset the stomach.

    Excessive drinking can also lead to gastritis, a condition when your stomach lining gets irritated, inflamed and erodes. Some people experience symptoms such as indigestion, stomach pain, an upset stomach and vomiting.

    Alcohol poisoning is the most common cause of vomiting after drinking and binge drinking is the biggest culprit, that means five or more alcoholic drinks during a 2 hour period for men and 4 drinks over 2 hours for women.

    We should keep in mind that alcohol is released from the stomach and into our bloodstream even after we stop drinking, so we keep getting drunk more and more.
