Medically speaking, I think as our bodies get older, it's harder to handle a lot of things!. But if you notice, a lot of older people have heart burn and acid reflux and can't drink the way they did when they were younger!. It's all about the stomach acid that helps move food and beverages along the system!.
When we're young, our stomach lining is strong and in tact!. But as we drink over the years, that layer of acid which works to break down the particles of stomach stuff probably becomes thinner and thinner!. That's also why some people can't handle spicy foods as they get older, their stomach acid percentage has decreased and it's harder to digest!. Same thing with drinking!. You've maxed out your system's ability to handle alcohol!. Most likely, your stomach isn't strong enough as it used to be!. Some older people are lucky that their stomach acid's wearing down hasn't made them ill from drinking, but it all depends on your system!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your body isn't used to having so much alochol!. I would suggest like taking sips of margarita or something light not a micki!. And then maybe going to stronger drinks after getting used to drinking that stuff!. I would suggest drinking water BEFORE drink!. Not chugging it but like say you go to drink at 10 pm and its 8 pm take like a couple glasses of water in between hours so be used to it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i guess you would have to say if this is a reoccurring thing!.!. if you got sick once from Half a micki, then you probably just got 24 hour flu, or food poisoning!. if it happens all of the time!.!. you may have some kind of allergy to alcohol which i have never heard of!.!. maybe try different alcoholsWww@FoodAQ@Com

It is your body telling you, that now that you are 21, it is time to move away from the cheap beer and go towards the real stuff!.

Try drinking a Widmer Hefeweizen for beer!.

If you want to feel a little tipsy!. Try Martelli and Rossi Asti Spumante, that will make you tipsy!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you smoke, or are around a lot of smokers you can have most of those symptoms!. You should try to drink a lot of water before you drink, or you could also try to except it and drink less:)Www@FoodAQ@Com

YOU GOT DRUGGED!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
