At 37:40 he throws up in the sink some eels. He gags before so you have a couple seconds to look away. Close up and audio. After he's done he finds some throw up on the pillow.

At 1:14:45 he throws up after he wakes up. You will hear it first. Visual and audio.

An affliction central to the movie is often compared to and treated like mental illness by the characters, and the affliction causes characters to use violence as a means.

Additionally, a character who could very easily be interpreted as struggling with a mental illness physically lashes out in response to a slight.
