Why am I getting sick from drinking alcohol?

Q: I am a 21-year-old female and to be honest, I have been drinking since I was in high school. There was a point (about 3 months) when I was 17 that I was drinking heavily (that is, 2-3 nights a week getting completely drunk.) When I started college my drinking cut back considerably and I would say, in the past three years, my drinking averages out to something like getting really drunk every two months and then having one or two drinks, one or two nights a month. That’s my history. The problem is, ever since I began drinking, I never got hangovers. This past November (11/05) I got really drunk and vomited the entire next day. Granted I was really drunk and just figured thats why I got so sick. I didn’t drink for a couple months and then got really drunk again. Again I spent the next day in the toilet. Since then I have drank twice, in small amounts. The last time I had 1 beer and 2 margaritas and I vomited once that night. Why am I getting sick all of a sudden from a small amount?Some of my friends say it’s the sweet and sour mix in the margaritas and tom collins I drank. I just think I get abnormally sick from such a small amount of alcohol. Especially since I use to never get sick.
