Hour into flight during beverage service; passenger in XX3 told me; that he was going to throw up and needed to go to the lavatory. People around him heard. I asked FA Z to move cart to galley for an emergency. Someone was in right door X lavatory; so the sick passenger accessed right lavatory Y and violently threw up in toilet. FA Z asked if he had a temperature or needed a doctor. He said he didn't have a temperature or possible COVID; but had too much to drink earlier prior to flight. We locked the lavatory back up. Passenger across from him thanked me for letting him go so fast. It did not result in passengers or crew being exposed to vomit in these possible COVID situations. He did not want medical treatment upon arrival.
FA Z and FA X advised me that during their beverage service passenger in XX3 hurried to them and told them that he was going to throw up.  FAs moved beverage cart quickly to the aft galley and moved passengers in aft galley to the side of galley; lavatory X was in use with another passenger. Passenger accessed lavatory Y and was continuously throwing up for a lengthy period of time. FA Z asked passenger if he had any fever [or] COVID; and passenger said no that he just had many drinks before flight. I advised Captain of the situation. Crew utilized situational awareness and company taught skills when dealing with this situation.
Flight attendants reported dealing with a sick passenger during flight.
