That is a pretty scary thing though in all seriousness.  Glad he is ok.

Blood makes black if it travels through the stomach. I have a wound in my "foodpipe" so I know.
But Guinness does the same :D

Glad your friends ok. :salute

This is probably a little off topic but I'm desperate. My dad has been having diarrhea for the past 3 months and isn't showing any signs of getting better soon. Hes sent in stool samples doctors have guesses of what it is. They give him medication and it doesn't seem to be working to well. Any ideas to what else he could use besides pepto bismol. He is getting better though, just slowly.

Most common cause for those esophageal varices is probably alcohol consumpton, although anything that results in liver issues can do it to. Very common complication of cirrhosis.
