Throwing up black liquid

[toriba]

Hi, let me preface by saying I'm not an alcoholic, but the alcoholism forum seems to be the best place to ask this.  I had way too much to drink last night and had a pretty bad hangover today, what really scared me is when I threw up, I threw up this black liquid that seemed to not mix well with the clear (saliva?).  Do any of you know what this black stuff is and how much damage I did to my body last night?  Thank you for your help.

I had some chicken earlier that day and I had a cheese burger and some fries a little while before I started drinking.

Oh also I remember it tasted really bitter when I threw it up, I can't remember if it tasted acidic but I remember bitter.

Could a friend of yours been concerned and given you charcoal pills?? I did this to a friend a long time ago when they were too drunk for their own good and they threw up black.

If not I would see a doc ASAP... black vomit or black stools is never a good sign

no I don't think so, I'll talk to my dad about it, he'll know what it was and what to do about it.

you said you are "sort of bulimic."  what do you mean by that?  every day?  you absolutely cannot chalk this simply up to the alcohol because the bulimia is probably wrecking your insides.

you gotta get it checked out.  that is not a good sign...

Alright I just called him and he said it was probably blood from my stomach, he said as long as I don't do it again I should be fine.  Man that was kind of embarrassing.  But at least I know I’ll probably be fine, thanks guys for your help.
