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.

Hey, i'm also bulimic and this has happened to me a few times. Ironically, also today. What color was the blood ? What consistency was it ?

If it was light and thin, brighter red(ish) in color that probably means you have a cut in your esophogus/throat/mouth. However, if the blood was dark brownish or even black and chunky - appearing almost like coffee grounds, with a stronger metallic blood taste, it is very serious. This could mean you ruptured an internal organ or that something is seriously wrong w/ you. This could lead to death or serious complications. If that's the case get checked out immediately.

I hope it was the lighter color.

lol for the record I'm a guy, and I'm kind of young (23), I used to be fat and I don't want to get that way again, so I'm just going to try to eat less.
