You need medical: evaluation for this. If it is black, tarry and malodorous - this could represent GI bleeding. It sounds like you have a serious problem with alcohol. Please get help.

Quit drinking: You are probably bleeding from your stomach when you drink. If you keep drinking, it will only make matters worse. Alcohol is a poison and it never did anybody any good, ever. So quit drinking while you are ahead. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
