When i got home from work my boyfriend told me he had 6 beers and felt very sick and vomited blood. should he seek medical attention? is it serious?

Gastritis: Alcohol is an irritant to the gut. Should stop alcohol and take ppi (like prilosec) for 2 weeks and see how it goes. If he has any more episodes of vomiting blood, should go to er.
