Alcohol interferes with sleep regulatory homeostatic system leads insomnia and sleep disruptions, especially REM cycle. REM cycle dominates half of the sleep period, especially the hours before waking. Lack of REM cycle leads to few negative effects on behaviour, like wake up in the middle of the night. Alcohol is a diuretic. Alcohol will tell your kidneys to make you pee much more than you take in. In other words, you need to go to the toilet more often after drink.

Myth: Vomit after drinking certainly seem to sober you up.
Fact: Unlike food, alcohol does not need to be digested. It can travels easily into the bloodstream and enter the stomach. After entering the bloodstream, alcohol already reached your brain. So, vomiting does not clean out the toxin. It certainly is not going to sober you up.

Fact: The order of the drinks does not matter as much as the quantity.
