What harm does drinking have to the stomach?

Drinking alcohol will cause vomiting and gastric acid reflux, and in severe cases, acute gastric mucosal injury will occur, causing upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Excessive drinking hurts the stomach first, because alcohol is lipophilic and fat-soluble. Excessive alcohol intake may lead to gastric mucosal erosion and mucosal bleeding, from vomiting after drinking and gastric acid reflux to acute gastric mucosal injury and upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Drinking alcohol before going to bed is also the most likely cause of "stomach disharmony". The so-called "stomach disharmony leads to restless nights", which not only affects the digestive function of the stomach, but also inevitably affects the quality of sleep, causing people to have a bad rest and listlessness, which will cause many harms to the human body over time.
