Why does overconsuming alcohol give me diarrhea the next day?

Need more info: It may not be the alcohol giving you diarrhea but the food you are eating with it. Alternatively the alcohol may be decreasing your attentiveness to put it mildly and will have a negative effect in your ability to control your bowels depending on how much alcohol you drink at one time.

Diarrhea: It may be directly related to the alcohol or you may have an underlying illness that is exacerbated by alcohol. Review this with your doctor and if over consumption of alcohol is a routine get help with this as well. All the best.
