Vomiting blood can be a sign of peptic ulcer disease (as everyone has mentioned above) however there are many other causes of vomiting blood "haematemesis":
Blood entering the stomach from other areas
- Nose (eg nose bleed - epistaxis) - blood can track down into the stomach
- Oesophagus - bleeding oesophageal varices is an emergency and you should call an ambulance/attend the hospital immediately if you are vomiting copious quantities of blood
Note that oesophageal varices and bleeding diathesis can result from liver diseases (the most common of which is alcohol related).
- trauma: blunt abdominal trauma or trauma to the head or neck can cause injury and haemorrhage and subsequent haematemesis
Rarely
- AV malformation in the GI tract
- bleeding diathesis
- gastric cancer
- head/neck cancers/infection/abscess

Could be anything, but more than likely an ulcer. Another sign of an ulcer is dark black stools or just generally tummyaches.
