A member asked:
Why would drinking alcohol ease my stomach.. if my stomach is weak the acids should make it worse (right?) but it always makes me feel better. why?

Be careful: Although alcohol may make you feel better "subjectively" due to the euphoric effects of alcohol, it can damage the lining of the stomach. This can lead to problems which include inflammation of the stomach, or gastritis. Alcohol abuse can also increase the risk of developing small intestine cancers and mouth cancer.
