What Causes Black Vomit After Drinking Alcohol?

Hi ,
Last night I had a couple drinks with my significant other & I started throwing up thick black vomit. My boyfriend said it looked like tar , it felt like I was throwing up dirt or something like it.
There was some blood in it as well.
This has happened a couple times.
Very concerned

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Black vomitting is not due to alcohol,
Sometimes due to forceful vomitting internal organs like esophagus , upper part of stomach get torn & blood coming from that sites makes your vomitting black in color.
So consult your physician for further intervention.
Take care
