Possibly: Did you drink enough to cause a hangover? The appearance of blood can occur from irritation of the stomach lining or even a tear in the lining of the esophagus where it joins the stomach. If it resolves, no problem; if it continues go to the er immediately.

Yes: Any bloody vomits needs further evaluation. You should call your surgeon and then see a gi.
