'pour most of the whiskey out what you may do later?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'pour most of the whiskey out' is the wordplay.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'whiskey' becomes 'W' (alpha bravo charlie delta ...).
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'the' with its last letter removed is 'th'.
'pour'+'th'+'w'='pourthw'
'pourthw' with letters rearranged gives 'THROW UP'.

(Other definitions for throw up that I've seen before include "Be sick" , "Reveal" , "Vomit - relinquish" , "find" , "Produce - vomit" .)
