single-word-requestsword-choice

Is there a word for the feeling someone may have who recently had a blackout or was so hungover that they can't even stand smelling something alcoholic?

You know what I mean; the feeling that makes you throw up if you smell or drink an alcoholic beverage.

Something like alcoholo-phobic?

Best Answer

I don't think you're going to find a word specifically related to alcohol but I may suggest:

"Repulsion"

noun
[mass noun]
  1a feeling of intense distaste or disgust:
    people talk about the case with a mixture of fascination and repulsion

Although, actually, on further reading:

"Alcoholophobia" does appear to be recognised:

Definition: Morbid fear of alcohol, or of becoming an alcoholic.
