Alcohol increases acid in the stomach

After alcohol leaves the mouth it flows down the esophagus and into the stomach. If there is no solid food in the stomach, most of the alcohol moves down into the small intestine and will come into contact with the intestinal walls more easily and pass quickly into the blood.in this way, All the alcohol of one drink may be absorbed within 30 minutes. If one drinks alcohol with food in the stomach, it will be trapped with the food in the stomach, where absorption is not very efficient. it can’t move into the small intestine immediately, this, slows the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream considerably. and the person will become impaired more slowly and will reach a lower peak alcohol concentration. also, Alcohol increases acid in the stomach, which in alcohol abusers can lead to severe stomach pain or sores in the intestines. This is why it is a good idea to eat a nice big meal while you are drinking. In fact, The presence of fatty meals can significantly reduce the peak blood alcohol concentration (BAC) up to 50% relative to that produced when alcohol is consumed on an empty stomach.
