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.

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.

I'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.

Use a plunger, or step up your game like me and get a Flexisnake.

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.

Yeah. Totally.
I guess you can add unclogging things on the list.
Unless it's already on there.

I used it for my toilet long time ago. I just emptied 500 ml bottle for night and from the morning it was unclogged

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...

Oh I definitely agree. It is funny.
Ontopic:
I don't have any of those alka seltzer things but I do have baking soda. My only concern is that nothing will get down the sink at all so how the hell does putting stuff in there do anything if it wont go down?

Lick, take the plummer tool, the one that Mario uses... take it, make a raid for your toilet... put it down there and pump, pump, pump like you've never done before.
Works everytime...
warning: if you're unlucky, the toilet might blow the stuff back at you..
and no, I have not tryed... I just have a few friends that tells their drunk stories..
Good for me I don't drink.. I hate cleaning up mess..

a baking soda is fine too.
one thing you can do is removie the grill/drainage thing (dunno the name for it) from the plug hole and try to break up the blockage by hand, or failing that get a wire coat hangar and stretch it out so you can shove it down the hole to break it up a little and hopefully get the baking soda in there.
if all else fails just open the pipe

Hahahahhahahahhaahahaha. Story time, fellas.
Last night I got extremely hammered. The time went by until about 2:45am when I decided to go to bed because my step dad wakes up at 3am and comes onto the computer every morning. I stumble to my bedroom and lay down, but everything was way too spinny and I couldn't close my eyes without feeling sick. I sat up in bed for about 30 minutes waiting for the spins to go away, then I hear my step dad wake up and come into the computer room ( my bedroom is right beside the comp room). Then I hear him go "holy **** it reeks back here". Probably beer and sweat. I decide to try to sleep, but as soon as I close my eyes, everything spins and I know I'm going to puke. I get out of bed, open the door stumble into the counter in front of my step dad and he glares at me as I go by. I go into the bathroom but I couldn't make it to the toilet, so I puke in the sink. I puke maybe 5 or 6 times in the sink and then I sit on the bathtub and wait for my sickness to pass. I sit there for maybe an hour when I realize that the sink is absolutely filled with my vomit. I wait another 20 minutes, hoping it'll go down, but it doesn't . I go to my last resort... scooping out my puke with my hands and bringing it to the toilet. I do that for about 5 minutes and then flush it. I clean out the sink and stumble back to my room. As I go by, my step dad gives me a "wtf man?" look. I sleep immediately. I wake up in the morning, feeling like shit. I go to the bathroom and see that the sink backed up and there's puke all over it. I try to push it all down but it doesn't go, so I start freaking out. Make the onrpg thread, google, try some shit, blahblah. Nothing ****ing works. I'm tweeking out now because I know my step dad knows what went on. I'm in the middle of jamming a coat hanger down the drain when I hear the door open. My step dad is there and he's pissed. He rages a bit outside because the sink is clogged (he doesnt ask why) and then he goes in to the bathroom. I hear a huge bang and a shit load of swearing and raging. He comes out of the bathroom ****ing covered in my beer puke and he goes, "who the **** is the dumb shit who dumped soup down the sink?!?!?!" I don't want him guessing it's something else so I'm like "shit that was me". I get a mop and go clean the bathroom because there's puke all over the walls and the roof. Epic luck is epic. Maybe I should get drunk to celebrate my good fortune.
No tl;dr for you fags. Read it all.
