Why do you say drinking burns your stomach?

Because alcohol is mainly digested and absorbed by the stomach.

The food people eat is digested and absorbed by different digestive organs.

Let's talk about what digestive organs people mainly have, mainly stomach, gallbladder, small intestine and large intestine.

The stomach is mainly used to digest and absorb sugar, the gallbladder is mainly used to secrete bile and decompose fat (be wary of hepatobiliary problems if you hate greasy fat), the small intestine is used to absorb most nutrients, and the large intestine mainly absorbs water and inorganic salts.

Alcohol is digested and absorbed through the stomach. If you drink too much, too much alcohol will stimulate the gastric mucosa and the gastric mucosa will be damaged. Gastric acid can directly damage the stomach wall, and once it is damaged, it is difficult to recover. So many people who drink too much will have a part of their stomach removed, because the damage to the stomach is irreversible.

Or in layman's terms, alcohol will destroy the gastric mucosa, which can protect the stomach wall from the damage of gastric acid. Once the gastric mucosa is destroyed, gastric acid will damage the gastric wall, and the acidity of gastric acid is very low, which means that the acidity is very high and strong enough to decompose nails.

Speaking of drinking, I believe that many people are actually unwilling to drink, and there is always a time when they have to drink. In fact, making relevant preparations can minimize the harm caused by alcohol.

You can eat something before drinking, try not to drink on an empty stomach and avoid direct contact between alcohol and stomach.

Moreover, you should pay attention to what you eat, preferably high in fat, such as fat, because after eating fat, you can form an oil layer protective film on the inner surface of the stomach, which can prevent alcohol from directly damaging the gastric mucosa and protect the gastric mucosa to a certain extent, thus relieving the pressure on the stomach.

Pay attention to drink plenty of water after drinking. Drinking plenty of water can improve the metabolic rate of the body and accelerate the process of alcohol excretion.
