So Saturday night I had a six-pack of smirn. and I felt pretty good, and by the way I don't usually drink. Anyways, that night I didn't throw up, but the next morning I had my first hang over. Stomach hurt and my head felt really hot. On the way home, I threw up. I felt a whole lot better after, but my question is... why didn't I throw up that night. Would it have been better if I did? and how do you prevent having a hang over?(don't tell me not to drink). Thanks if you reply :D

Throwing up is good; you've had too much to drink, your body knows it, and it's trying to rectify the problem before it does serious damage. If you don't throw up, do drink plenty of water. Make sure you eat something before you drink as well. Food absorbs some of the alcohol and keeps you from getting so sick.
There are pills out there that allegedly prevent hangovers. I've never tried them, but I wouldn't recommend them anyhow. I assume they just cover up the problem. I'd say it'd be better for your body to teach you how to properly drink and avoid hangovers. Learn the hard way, as they say.
I don't get hangovers, for one of two reasons. Either I've eaten and take a bottle of water to bed with me, or I drink far too much and throw it up anyway. I highly suggest the former. [ K3587's advice column | Ask K3587 A Question ]

You probably didn't throw up because you had much to drink, but probably because you were dehydrated during the night. If you want to prevent a hangover in future - drink a glass of water before you go out and drink or whatever, and also when you come in. I never thought this would work but my friend used to suffer bad hangovers but since he started to drink water before and after alcohol, he hasn't been sick!
