Nope, none of the above. You could stand up, or draw a weapon or sheathe one, but not drop it or shift your grip.
The FAQ is very, very silly. It actually made me laugh at the ridiculousness.

1. No, because if you drop prone too fast you're probably going to throw up or evacuate your bowels due to the quick and violent motion of just falling down; you need to carefully adjust your body so that you don't end up doing that. (It's presumed that you don't want to ruin or soil your equipment and/or clothing, so...)
2. This one is a little silly, but you technically can. You just have to set it down or sheathe it, both of which are Move-equivalent Actions. That being said, there should be no reason for this to come up because there is no gain by dropping your weapon; unless you're Dominated, and they're telling you to drop your weapon, this shouldn't come up, and if it does, then there's alternatives to take.
3. If you've had an extreme hangover, or you've had something that just tasted gross and didn't agree with your body, would you be the talkative one, when you're trying to keep your puke at bay, or even while it's throwing up out of your mouth? I didn't think so.
4. Same as #2, except you have to spend a Move Action to manipulate it to only be in one hand.
It might be stupid in certain instances, but it's a condition designed to severely debilitate you. I've seen stupider things being claimed in even more sketchy instances than this, and they've been Paizo-approved.
