Answers:
It can cause lasting damage, even death (every year, a handful of college students die from hazing enduced over drinking - you can die from alcohol poisoning)!. The lasting damage, however, is to your liver and brain!. You may have caused yourself an ulcer, or perhaps some kidney damage!.

While I suspect you will recover eventually, it's best to have this checked out by a real doctor!. I don't know of any real doctors who participate in Y!A!. Don't take any answer you find here (including my own) as fact!.

More importantly, be honest with yourself (lie to me if you have to; I don't care) about why you took and drank the bottle, particularly if you don't like the stuff, as you claimed!. What were you trying to accomplish!? I suspect this is something you should talk out, honestly, with a councelor, physchiatrist, or similar mental health profession!. I don't buy the notion that you don't know why you did it!. If you don't get to the bottom of it, destructive behaviors will only repeat themselves!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should immediately have your foster parent take you to the doctor/emergency room!. It sounds serious, and could be your kidneys!. Alcohol can do a lot to your body, have kidney problems, pancreatitis, liver damage, many things!. Never drink again, you're way too young!. This has been going on for 2 days and can get much worse, do something soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have alcohol poisoning by the sounds of it!. Drink loads to flush your system and if in another day or two you still feel bad then go to your GP!. You are so silly - you could have died!. Instead your poor liver is working overtime trying to rid you of the toxins !!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You'll be okay but yes it can cause permanent damage to your liver over an extended period of time and you can die from alcohol poisoning!. There are reasons that it's illegal for you to drink until you are 21!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No that is not normal after 2 days, get to doctor asap!.

I drink often and never have problems like that (even if i've drank more that a bottle of vodka)!. The blood in your wee could be something very serious!.

Get to the doctors tomorrow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes it can cause so may diffrent things not good to drink especially at 14 u should see a doctor about the blood in you pee and make sure u tell him that you drank a lot and vomited for a few days your lucky you didnt kill yourself with alcohal poisoningWww@Answer-Health@Com

and hey dont worry about it!.!.!.!.i know very few people who havent done something stupid where alcohol is concerned!.!.!.!.at least the hangover will teach you the lesson!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds pretty much like what I'd expect!. If you keep on drinking like that it'll get easier to do in the short term but you'll kill your liver, and yourself!. I've seen it done by age 28, so you're half way there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your liver can be badly damaged!. You could have a hang over, but because you peed blood, I seriously doubt that that's what it is!. You should really go to a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have poisioned yourself, it could go on for a week or more, a whole bottle of Vodka could have killed you, so never ever do anything that stupid again!.

As for lasting damage, I doubt it, your liver can re-generate itself, and does this every three months or so, you have to drink heavily for quite a long time for it to be so damaged beyond repair, however it affects your brain, kidneys, and heart, but again its usually long term users that get really sick, so dont worry, just drink loads of water, boiled, eat toast and try some weak sweet tea, your body will get over it, but learn your bloody lesson!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

don't worry my boyfriend got exactly like this once!.
Except he is 16
but still, too young!.
I just thought i would say he is fine, and i hope you will too, he stopped pissing blood after 3 days and didn't go to see a doctor (i wouldn't recommend this i would go and see a doctor just to make sure) just drink lots of water to get it out your body!.
Get lots of rest but go for walks outside to get fresh air and exercise, the more you sweat the quicker you should get better!.
good luck
hope you get better soonWww@Answer-Health@Com

You could have easily killed yourself! You are14, and your first time drunk was off of an ENTIRE BOTTLE of vodka!.

Alcohol causes lasting damage, like liver damage, it can cause heart problems too, or brain death!.!.!. drinking that much liquor that quickly can easily kill someone!. It's physically addictive if you use it a certain way!. Do not drink, do not drink when you are upset!. That is not how you solve things, that is how you become addicted to alcohol!. The pains and the bleeding are probably stress on your liver, or your stomach trying to recover!.

As far as permanent damage, I'm sure you didn't cause yourself anything lifelong!. But you're lucky to be alive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sweetie, the reason for the blood is because you drank a large amount of a high concentrated alcohol!. When you drink alcohol, it eats away at the protective lining in your stomach, which will cause a little blood in your urine, it also destroys brain cells, though I think that one occasion of drinking too much won't have caused very much damage at all!. The pains you are having are not above your stomach, they are your stomach!. Your stomach sits very high in your torso, just below your heart and your diaphragm!. Your stomach is trying to repair the damage done to its lining, and when you eat, the acid flares up and impairs the healing process!. I think you should probably stick to water and broth for a day or so!. Alcohol impairs balance, depth perception, and self control!. The large amount you drank probably does warrant two days of bad effects!. Alcohol also destroys the cells in your liver that help clean impurities out of your food!. I suggest that you refrain from drinking until you are of age because your body is still developing, and so the damage is likely to be repaired almost entirely!. You should probably refrain from drinking altogether, or stick to drinking one or two at a time even after you are of age!. There is a reason your brain doesn't finish developing until you are twenty five, it is a safety net for occasions just such as this!. Hang in there, I'll be praying for you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

you need to see a doctor now, my friend who was the same age as you at the time did that and he had the same symptons your describing and it was liver failure!. it nearly killed him!. go see a doctor!. if your foster dad was slapping you are you sure he didn't do anything else that you can't remember!? have a look and see if there are any bruises that you can't explain because if he has hit you hard enough he could have caused an internal injury that would explain the pain and the dizzyness!. as internal injuries cause you to bleed on the inside and this makes your blood pressure drop dramatically so your body doesn't get enough oxygenated blood so you go light headed and dizzy!. please go get it checked out even if you lie about the vodka because you are lucky to be alive, don't risk it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are very lucky to be alive!. Quickly drinking any liquor, including vodka, in even a one pint quantity can cause death by producing a rapid high blood alcohol which then causes the brain to close down the breathing muscle (diaphragm of the chest) and cause death!. The alcohol can easily cause some superficial bleeding over the entire inner surface of the stomach, but doesn't cause blood in the urine!. If you vomit and suck back some vomit into your lungs, then the result will be a chemical shock and possibly a chemical type pneumonia which results in death after even one deep breath!. If you stop your excess alcohol now, there likely will be no lasting long term effects!. Take your choice and accept the consequences!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The bad head and throwing up sound about right for a hang over even days later, the blood bit doesn't sound right unless your drinking like this regularly, when you say your foster dad was slapping you are you sure thats all he did as it sounds more like internal bleeding from an injury!, or did you fall onto something when you were drunk!. Get this checked out for your own peace of mind!.
By the way - YES - Alcohol abuse is one of the biggest killers in the world only it comes under different guises - Kidney and Liver Failure being the main 2!. Something to remember 'ALCOHOL is an equal opportunities destroyer'!!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
