After 11.5 years, my puke-free streak has come to an end. There was nothing I was more proud of than that record. For more than 1/3 of my life, I have gone without puking. Considering the amount of drinking I do, this is quite an accomplishment. I have an amazing constitution, though it was no match for whichever form of stomach flu decided to inhabit my GI tract on Friday. Instead of enjoying the weekend with friends, I remained in the fetal position around my toilet asking God for forgiveness and wondering what it was I ate that could be that orange.There is something refreshing about starting my decade long streak again. It's a new day, and at this rate, I'll be in my 40's when I puke again. So readers, can anyone beat my 11.5 year vomit-free run? Does anyone have interesting chunk-blowing stories they'd like to share with the rest of the class?

lets see the last time i puked was on the way to mont st. michelle in france, i stumbled out of the car and vomited a beautiful john deere green, just before the monument.... ma mere a dit "c'est une crise du fois!" something about the food in europe being so different from american foods that it messes with your liver....? i dunno but that was the last time i vomited
i'm glad to hear somebody else be proud of their streak. i've brought mine up from time to time and nobody seems to care. hmpf! anyway, i had mine broken a couple years ago from drinking (darn irish car bombs) but it wrapped up around 15 years of puke free life.
I just broke my 10 year puke -free streak this past friday. I hadn't thrown up since 4th grade, I think. And, then, this last weekend my friends let me have too much alcohol and I threw up a little. Not a lot, and I almost don't want to count it because it was so little, but that's cheating.
I'm glad other people have non-puking streaks. It makes me feel less weird in being so proud of mine.
I haven't puked in 28 years....of course, I don't drink to get drunk either.
last time i puked was around 7 years old. i started drinking heavily around 14 and am turning 28 next week. my mind refuses to let my body expel the poison that's introduced far too often. i know i'm proud of my streak, but my liver actually whimpers at night.
I'm the other end of the spectrum, the smalest thing my stomach doesn't like sends me to kneel at the throne. Last time was about 3 weeks ago when i had gastritis.
My condolences Echo.
My longest no-puke streak was about six years. It was broken by a bout of flu I had earlier this year. I puked the first day I had it [out of my nose too, boy that was fun] and didn't puke again. I haven't puked since then either, even when I had what I think was salmonella poisoning. I guess it helps that I don't drink.
I've always been proud of my non-puking streak.
I have no streak to speak of. But as for stories...
Lets just say that you haven't lived until you've seen the color that a combination of Absinthe, Jagermeister and guinness makes on the way back up.
I feel sorry for the street cleaners in Geissen Germany.
I haven't thrown up for 25 years or so... Woot Woot! And never in my life would i think there would a time and place were me bringing that up would actually make sense...
Dang, now what?
Absinthe Pablo? I've heard about that stuff. It's just now showing up in the local liquor stores..
Let's see, my record is like 2 years old. Got way drunk and barfed in the guest bedroom of a buddy. Then dry heaved for hours the next day. Learned me a lesson, sorta.
I have no streak, I puke at the thought of puking!
My favorite puking story is:
We had a big inspection one day in the Marines. I had food poising from eating a burrito that had spent the night on top of the fridge. I came to work really late and was sitting in the parking lot trying to get the energy to go see the doc. My Lieutenant Colonel came up to my car and asked why I was not in formation with the rest of the Battalion. I started to answer when I had to open my door and blow chunks. He sent me to see the Doc and performed the inspection with puke splatter on his pants and shoes! That was a good day!
For getting plain, flat out, stupid drunk you cant beat absinthe. The stuff is like 66% alcohol. after 3 or 4 shots it feels like someone injected novocaine into your brain stem.
Pablo - Yikes! Nicely put too.
JohnnieWalker (apt name for this conversation btw), excellent story. Good hustle!
Ahh, absinthe. For a refresher course...

When I was in high school I was walking past the dining room just as my parents were sitting down with 8 guests for a dinner party... and puked.
The last time I puked was in August of 1987. 22 years... Not Halbowitz level (25), but I consider it an achievement (mother would be so proud...)
I don't know how artists claim they got their creativity from absinthe. After i drink it i can't even put together a coherent sentence let alone a work of art...
Yeah, Pablo, it was definitely two shots of absinthe and a cup of vodka and gatorade (guess what there was more of in there) that did me in.
The funny part was, I was making coherent sentences, they just didn't cohere with each other. It was an experience.
Go college!
Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson also claim to have been influenced by the stuff.
For a semi accurate portrayal of the effects of absinthe, look up Nine Inch Nails'
"Perfect Drug" on youtube.
My names Frank and I'm an alcoholic.
I spew all the time. Not usually while drinking but the next day. That is the worst, when you are hung over and puking.
I actually had like a 3 month period where every week at about 3 on a sunday morning I would be standing in an ally throwing my guts up behind the same pub, and every time the same bouncer would come round the corner and put a glass of water on the ground behind me, give me a pat on the back and walk off. When I would finish spewing I would drink the water, walk round to the front of the pub and give the bouncer the glass back, then I would go home.
Those where the days.
My non puke streak is about 2 months now.
I'm rather proud of it.
Last time I puked was about three weeks ago when a friend of mine had a beer-pong tourney at his place. We used Bacardi 151 instead. Three matches later I was face deep in white porcelain. Overall it was a great night, though!
Bacardi 151 barfing is one of the worst. Brandy was my first. Gin was second (I erroneously was credited with ample velocity to puke *through* a window screen). Bac 151 was third. A mixture of Bud, chablis, Jose, and Jager resulted in the fourth (as well as a slew of hickeys of unknown origin). That was college graduation party, 1990, and I swore never again, which makes my streak over 18 years. That's for puking and anonymous hickeys :P
As for funny side stories about puking, I do recall having to stop on Seattle's 520 floating bridge at 3 am to allow a friend of mine to continue his "21st birthday puke." Good times!
I knew a guy who got drunk on this coconut flavored rum and ended up puking like crazy and now cant stand the taste of coconut.
Knew another guy who had been in an accident and had his jaw wired shut and got drunk and ended up puking through that. (He told me about this I didn't have the pleasure of witnessing it.) Yikes.
I puked in the middle of my paper route when I was about 14, then not again until I was 35. That's my entire college career and the first 5 years of being a parent. Ultimately working in a hospital caught up with me.
