∙ 12y agoThe effects of alcohol on the stomach can be severe, depending on the amount of alcohol consumed. People who drink large quantities of alcohol could be causing serious damage to their stomachs, much of which is irreversible.
- Absorption
Twenty percent of alcohol is absorbed by the stomach, with the balance absorbed into the bloodstream.
Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol irritates the lining of the stomach, which delays alcohol absorption and prevents it from entering the small intestine.
The American Diabetes Association states that blood alcohol level rises faster on an empty stomach, while water and fruit juice slows alcohol absorption.
Excess alcohol causes red blood cells to clump and then clog blood vessels that can sometimes break in the stomach, leading to hemorrhage and even death.
Drinking alcohol increases stomach acid, which leads to gastritis and intestinal ulcers.
An article published by the Oregon Counseling center states that beer temperature affects absorption, with warmer alcohol absorbing faster than cold.

sarah.
YES IT DOES! Very few substances are absorbed in the stomach. It is virtually impermeable to water. However, it does absorb alcohol, which is lipid-soluble, and some aspirin, which is acid-labile. The majority of aspirin is absorbed in the duodenum of the small intestines, but some is taken in by the stomach.

Alcohol is more readily absorbed on an empty stomach, than the slow absorption on a full stomach.

When the food you eat gets to your stomach itdissolves in your stomach acid. Your body absorbs the nutrients and other important things, then it comes out as waste.

How do you get the nutrients in vitamins?
your body absorbs the nutrients in food through the lining of your stomach and intestine, and they go directly into the bloodstream. Alcohol does this too, that is why the cops measure your BAC, Blood Alcohol Content.
What phase change occurs before and after rubbing alcohol absorbs?
Before rubbing alcohol absorbs, it is a liquid. While it absorbs (heat), the phase change occurring is evaporation. As the alcohol takes in heat, it turns into a gas.

Nothing happens- alcohol is not an acid capable of eating through the mucosa. Stomach acid is, but the mucosa is constantly renewed. In some cases, the mucosa is not enough and the acid irritates the stomach lining- thats known as an ulcer.
