So without going into too much detail, I puked in my bathroom sink last night and now it's clogged. The sink is filled with water and LiquidPlumb'r and NOTHING goes down.
What can I do to unclog my bathroom sink?

oh man
ok first of all, have you tried boiling water?
usually the contents of your stomach can be broken up with that because its just half digested food and stomach acid.
so boil up a kettle full of water and then pour it slowly down the sink if you havent tried that already. also, watch out for the smell, because it aint good.
also, bathroom sink makes it alot harder than kitchen sink because you cant get at the underside. or can you? check your sink, is there a way round the back to reach the bend in the pipe? usually you can use a wrench or whatever to open it up and remove blockages, unless its built into the wall.
:edit: empty the sink of all fluids before you pour in the boiling water. also pour it directly down the hole straight from the kettle.
Reputation: 76I'll try that but I don't think it'll work because the boiling water won't go down the hole. It's clogged right to shit. Nothing can get down the hole.

pepsi or coke works just the same as vinegar in conjunction with alka seltzer, you just need something to make it react.
also, on a slightly more selfish note... i find it highly amusing to imagine Lick rushing alternatively between his vomit stained sink and his computer, frantically trying to sort out this mess before someone else notices.
i know its cruel but it is kinda funny if you think about it...

well i dont know what your plumbing skills are like, so before you try taking it apart at the u-bend try this
you remember as a kid in science class where you make those stupid volcanoes and fill them with vinegar and alka seltzer to make a "fun" explosion? well the same thing can work to unblock sinks.
just break up some alka seltzer tablets into the plughole, then pour in a ton of vinegar and it should start to fizz. if you leave it for a while, five minutes or so, then come back and rinse with hot water it might shift the blockage.
if that dont sound like its gonna work then you are going to need to get out your toolbelt and remove the u-bend and take out the blockage by hand.
thats never any fun.
Buy Drano? :O
Reputation: 76Since it's clogged bad try peroxide. It sounds strange but it's true. It burns right through uhhh... vomit I guess.
Depends on how bad the clog is.
Basically
1. Take off the elbow pipe, catch pipe, catch basin, whatever you wanna call it
2. Clean
3. ????
4. PROFIT
*edit* Or go with what Deimos said. Way cleaner.

[EDIT] Why does no one take the time to drink some milk before they go to bed?;D It also helps me getting rid of the dizzy feeling I most of the time when I'm drunk.
