What Causes Vomiting Of Blood And Pain Near Liver Area?

I am 21 years old, male, 240lbs. I have been binge drinking heavily for the last 2-3 weeks. This morning I threw up about 1-2 cups of dark red blood. The area where my liver is located still has a constant dull ache. What should I do? I would prefer to not go to the hospital, but I am unsure if this is serious or not.
