Cats seem to throw up regularly just to stay in practice.
But grown-up women rarely throw up, unless they're pregnant. But it happens. Vomiting is your body's way of divesting itself of a bad investment. So if you suddenly throw up and you're not expecting, it can usually be traced to either contaminated food or overindulgence in alcohol. So while it's little consolation if you find yourself hunched over the toilet bowl, chances are that if you're vomiting, it's good for you.
