I can vividly remember trying to drink my first beer of the day and vomiting it right back up on days when I was unusually hungover/having bad withdrawals. I'd usually do it outside near the woods so no one noticed. I remember gagging when I lifted the can to my mouth just from the smell but knowing that I had to drink it. It would sometimes take one or two but eventually i'd get one to stay down.
On the subject, it's also worth noting that the severity of withdrawals can increase over time. For example, I quit cold turkey a couple of times and stayed sober for a month once, and even a couple months. But the last time I quit I ended up in the ER with symptoms I had never had before.
