What Causes Continuous Vomiting?

My mother has been violently vomiting since last night. It comes out of nowhere and has been sporadic, but she's probably vomited ten times since last night.
She drinks daily, so I'm wondering if it's alcohol poisoning.
Though we also went to two seafood places (this was the one unusual food pattern I could think of) and we don't go for seafood often, so... food poisoning?
What's the best thing I could do for her immediately until we can get a doctor's visit?

Allow her to consume plenty of liquids in form of boiled water , lemon juice coconut water , home made juices , organic tea , coffee , butter milk etc .
