Patient with a 3-day history of profuse nausea/vomiting after significant alcohol consumption who now presents with abdominal pain, hypotension, tachycardia and cool/clammy skin, most consistent with hypovolemic shock
Septic shock: Could be seen if patient had sign of perforation (guarding, rebound) and patient would likely have warm and dry skin (because cardiac output is normal/increased and peripheral arterioles are dilated)

If you're silly and picked esophageal rupture like me:
Mallory-Weiss โ incomplete tear (mucosa/submucosa) โ no perforation โ hematemesis
Boerhaave โ complete tear โ perforation โ SubQ emphysema
