one of my greatest achievements in life is drinking double what ended up killing bonzo (two bottles o' crown) in a night, I mean I had one hell of a hangover the next day but that was it. I have friends who puke their guts out after only drinking lke 1/4th of a bottle what's that shit about?

A guy puked on feet recently.
You seem more fun to drink with.

I think it has to do with how much you drink and how fast you drink it. One time I drank an entire liter of whiskey over the course of an evening/night and didn't throw up, another time I drank three beers and a double whiskey in two hours and threw up everywhere.

From not eating or drinking enough water during and/or before their drinking session.

Contrary to popular belief, alcohol is a poison. Puking is just one of many delightful ways the body has of getting rid of it.
I'm a puker. But I can withstand a fair amount of drank before i get to that point (at least, I used to be able to).
Awesomely, my body won't let me pass out if I need to puke. So no asphyxiation on puke while unconscious for me.

Same. That self-preservation sequence is awesome. The last (and only) time that I got incredibly, ridiculously stupid-drunk, I puked four times and it was such a relief.
Then I started falling asleep using a 20lb dumbbell as a pillow, but not before uttering "I hope I don't die like Jimi Hendrix..." and thanking my body in advance.
Thanks, me.

But that is what makes alcohol so cool! It's a culturally acceptable poison that over centuries we have developed into something mildly palatable. We turned a poison into a beloved art. Most people literally MAKE themselves like it ("an aquired taste") through peer pressure or cultural norms. I personally don't even find getting anywhere beyond slightly drunk that pleasurable, plenty of other (more interesting, cheaper and safer) illegal drugs I would prefer before grabbing a beer.
Not to say I avoid it, I love me some fucking whisky, it's just alcohol and drinking culture is anthropologically pretty bizarre.

apple pips contain cyanide, broccoli contains sulfa-something that is highly toxic, green tea unbalances the immune system, etc, etc. life is basically toxic and we are all going to die (so get on with dying with class, wit and style).
i've also read that the puking with alcohol is also because it fucks up your balance by affecting whatever it is in your ear that tells you when you are upright or falling over. it thins the liquid in there or oversensitises the sensors that react to it (one or the other or both) so (effectively) you get bad motion sickness even though you are moving normally or still. that's why when you lay on your bed drunk the room feels like it's spinning.
but there's a concept of offsetting one evil against another to minimize inevitable damage. like people who smoke and drink outliving people who don't, because the long-term consequencs of unbroken high-levels of stress can be worse than those associated with minimal drinking and smoking, which relieves stress and can give your system a much needed break.
it all works in the most impossibly fucked-up butterfly-effect version of chaos theory imaginable that no one will ever work it out. the guy who made jogging popular died of a heart attack at 52 (while jogging). the oldest person who lived was a french woman i think who drank and smoked until her death.
i don't think anyone who enjoyed it while it lasted could be accused of not living well.

I feel like we'd be bros IRL. I've had that exact same belief for the longest time. I tried to avoid alcohol for a while, but my friend turned me into a beer lover... and now I'm just an intolerable beer snob
Thankfully, I've only puked twice from overdrinking. I'll never understand people that drink 'til they puke night after night. I had a gf that actually did that

Achtane, high five.
Also, at no point did I say alcohol was evil or uncool. I more than love a good beer, a bourbon and a few other things.
Beer snobbery for lyfe.

Sorry man, wasn't my intention to put words in your mouth, just expressing my enthusiasm for the topic.
