Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).
Since your friend has drunk beyond the limit. It may be a dangerous situation as it may lead to complications like aspiration in lungs, dehydration, and blood in vomitus. So I will advise you to take him to ER where his vitals will be checked and may be treated with intravenous fluids, antiemetic agent. Also you should not give any medicine to him by mouth.
