Answers:
Technically, if you throw-up at all from drinking you have alcohol poisoning, since your body is trying to rid itself of the "poison" you ingested!. However it does sound like you were just hung over for the two days, rather than having the kind of major alcohol poisoning that results in your organs shutting down!.

Alcohol is poison so yes by definition you had alcohol poisoning!. However, the amount of alcohol you drank is pretty small especially considering how long you took to drink it!. You will recover!.

If you are going to choose to drink it is important to know your limits and keep to them in the future!. It sounds to me like you have learned a valuable lesson here!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You probably had mild alcohol poisoning!. The same thing happened to a friend of mine, but she was throwing up for a couple of days!. Though, pretty much, if you're throwing up period, your body got poisoned by the alcohol; it's our bodies way of getting the poison out!. Drink a Revive vitamin water or 2 and you should be fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A hangover is alcohol poisoning!. Alcohol isn't natural for the body and you get drunk because your body is reacting to the poison while your liver works to filter it!. A hangover is your body recovering from the poisoning!.

BTW - that doesn't sound like much alcohol!.!.!.1/2 a water bottle!? I'm sure you'll survive!. Keep practicing - you'll get better at it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Probably a little bit of both!.

Just be sure to drink a TON of water for the next couple of days to keep your hydrated!.

You may not want to drink for awhile after that!. It's happened to me before when I didn't even drink that much!. I think it all depends on how your body handles it, and how much you ate that day!.

Signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning include:

Confusion, stupor
Vomiting
Seizures
Slow or irregular breathing
Blue-tinged skin or pale skin
Low body temperature (hypothermia)
Unconsciousness ("passing out")

It's not necessary for all of these symptoms to be present before seeking help!. A person who has become unconscious, or cannot be roused, is at risk of dying!.

Be more careful!Www@FoodAQ@Com

drinking that much alcohol is irresponsible regardless if you are of legal age or not!. You could have damaged some organs like your kidneys and or liver that could result in your kidneys/liver not working properly and you know that can't be a good thing so you probably should go see a doctor if it continues!.!.!. it could be very serious!

alcohol dont stay in your system that long, not 2 days unless you kept drinking!. You probably were drunk woke up with a hangover and had the flu or something!. If you did have it for 2 days you would have had a bac of !.60% lol would have been dead twice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

? Sounds like a bad hangover to me!. Alcohol poisoning it can directly impact your central nervous system, slowing your breathing, heart rate and gag reflex!. This can lead to choking, coma and even death!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it's just a hangover i think!. the next time you want to drink, make sure you get some water in between shots, or eat some snacks and stuff in between!. some food in your stomache before / after wouldn't hurt eitherWww@FoodAQ@Com

I would say that you're probably just really hungover!. if you have alcohol poisoning you would be delusional and have a low body tempWww@FoodAQ@Com

Does not sound like alcohol poisoning!.!.!.you luckily threw up which helped rid your body of some of it!. The story you tell is not consistent with alcohol poisoningWww@FoodAQ@Com
