Can i have a drink if i have a bleeding ulcer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad plan!: Alcohol irritates the inner lining of the stomach and increases stomach acid production. Both of these effects may tip one over the edge, leading to life-threatening bleeding. Abstain from alcohol until your ulcer is completely healed (please).
