Does puking help a hangover?

Puking can relieve nausea by getting alcohol out of your stomach, but it doesn't significantly sober you up because alcohol gets into your bloodstream quickly, and forcing it can lead to dehydration, making your hangover worse, though listening to your body if you naturally feel the urge to vomit is generally advised. The best hangover remedies are rest, rehydration (water, electrolytes), bland foods, and time, not inducing vomiting.

You feel better after throwing up because your body releases feel-good chemicals like endorphins and dopamine, which temporarily mask discomfort, and you've expelled the irritant or excess substance (like alcohol or a virus) causing the nausea, creating physical relief. This natural reflex removes toxins, and the subsequent release of these neurotransmitters provides a short-lived sense of well-being, even though it doesn't truly "fix" the underlying problem.
