Hello doctor,I am 26 years old female. The day before yesterday night I drank alcohol for the first time. I had whiskey and my last drink was one glass of red wine. After coming back around half an hour later I felt sick and I puked. Now my worry is my vomit was red colored like there were not red specks of blood. The whole vomit was red colored. Now I do not know if it was the red wine coloring it red or it was blood. It was a lot of vomit but I did not feel dizzy or anything after puking. I slept and I was absolutely fine the next day. One of my doctor friends asked me to keep a check on stool color the next day just to be safe and I did and it was normal yellow color. I wanted your opinion as to what to do next. I am otherwise healthy with no other complaint.
Hello. The red vomit is likely due to red wine only. Alcohol causes gastritis and vomiting, and you likely vomited red wine out. I guess you did not have abdominal pain. The bloody vomitus is brown in color rather than red. Was the color of vomitus matching with wine, if yes it further suggests it is wine. Also, stool will turn blackish, foul smelling if it was blood. So continue to observe the stool for another 2 to 3 days. Overall, does not look like a matter of worry.
