If you take one or two drinks, yeah it will just be not good. If you binge, you be puking your guts out.

This is not true. I have had ~15 drinks on Naltrexone which definitely qualifies as a binge although I never "truly" binged as I never blacked out after starting treatment via The Sinclair Method. It wasn't a great time especially the next morning but I didn't get sick at all.
