Dear welcome to hcm and thanks for choosing us.

There are two possibilities in your case. One could be the tablet which you took just before vomiting. However the another common and serious problem with chronic alcohol users is blood in vomiting. Alcohol leads to irritation to the stomach linings and that results in to bleeding.

You need to do a test on your vomit (if it is persistently pinkish) to look for red blood cells. Meanwhile take antacids and anti vomiting tablets for relief. Control on your drinks too, as it is taking a toll on your health.

I hope my reply will help you. Please write to hcm or me for follow up queries. I wish you good health. Thanks
