Hello,
Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.
I would like to know some additional information from you. This will help me in forming a learned opinion.
Was there any blood in the vomitus ?
Are you able swallow and drink fluids normally ? Any pain on doing so ?
Any fever, lethargy ?
You can reply as a followup.
Thank you

Thank you.
Thank you.
Most probably you are having an alcohol induced gastritis. There appears no symptoms suggestive of Ruptured oesophagus or anything serious as a matter of fact. However heavy drinking does come with its own risks.
For now you can take an OTC anti ulcer medication like Prilosec for 7 days just before sleep (without any food). This should heal the stomach mucosa damaged by the alcohol.
Aspiration is another possibility ( the stomach contents going into lungs while vomiting). This is less likely. Just be cautious. If the symptoms, especially if the breathlessness persist you should get medical help ( An Xray will be required in that case).
Most likely the symptoms will resolve with Prilosec. Avoid spicy irritant foods, alcohol.
Hope this helps
Feel free to ask followups
Thank you
