Drinking too much...

Er, say if you were silly like me, and after lunch drank a bottle of wine, and then threw everything back up...

How many calories do you think I would have got from my food / wine?? Maybe half? A third? None?

Either way you ingested calories somehow....

this question is hinging on quite inappropriate and a bit scary in my opinion. it doesn't matter how many were absorbed. the drinking should be kept to a minimum and i think you should deal with getting sick rather than the number of calories you absorbed after vomiting. 

Yuck. Please don't ask questions on CC about how many calories are ingested/got rid of after vomiting. As a recovered anorexic and bulimic I think it's downright dangerous to put that knowledge out there, or even risk other people considering this option.

I think this thread should be deleted.

I didn't mean it in that way, I don't drink very often at all, but this time I had too much. Because I'm calorie counting, I just wanted to know how much I should add for the day... I didn't mean to be disgusting or inappropriate. I was just genuinely curious.

I think you were genuinely looking for attention, IMO.

No? I just wanted an accurate calorie count. Drinking too much is hardly something to be proud of, neither is puking.

It mightn't be the most pleasant question to ask but honestly I feel a bit hurt because everyone is attacking me for asking. I understand now that putting information up about calories and vomiting might be dangerous for some people. So I'm sorry. But why is it scary or inappropriate? Compared to people my age I barely drink a thing. I couldn't really think of a nice way to word a question like that.

I'm sure this sort of thing has happened to most people at some point. I would never use alcohol to purposefully make myself throw up, that's so unhealthy... This was just a girls night in.

:S

Besides advising you to cut down on the booze, i'll also let you know that you should count all of those calories.
