Likely alcoholism.
With vomiting, there is loss of electrolytes (salts) and the tone of nerves and muscles are abnormal until replaced. In addition, alcohol has numerous effects on the brain and these can take a while to go entirely back to baseline. Rehydration fluid can often help with electrolytes. Fruit juices have several of the important ones (like potassium).
