Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your husband and understood the concerns.
Drinking beer followed by Vodka followed by beer again for 2 days can cause lots of gastritis and thus vomiting.
This in turn can cause dehydration, change internal health and thus he is laying in bed.
I would advise him the following in such a situation:
Tell him to take a PPI like Omeprazole, antacids and Domperidone if the vomiting persists.
Plenty of oral fluids in any form that suits him.
Consult a Doctor if the symptoms do not improve and may need intravenous fluids and electrolytes.
I find this answer helpful
