Heavy drinking can also damage other organs, such as the pancreas and the brain, and can raise blood pressure. It also increases the risk of Heart disease and stroke.

I believe the perforating gastric ulcer releases the acid, inside the stomach, which can then damages the pancreas, due to how close the pancreas and stomach are.
Food travels down the esophagus into the stomach. People who vomit often can damage the tissues in the esophagus.
You should never induce vomiting. Stomach acids are very harsh and can damage the esophagus from vomiting too much.
Stomach acid can cause damage to one's teeth. It can also irritate the esophagus, which in the case of acid reflux, can permanently change the cellular makeup (Barret's Disease) of the esophagus.
The throat is the esophagus. It is not protected from contact with the stomach acid so it is eroded.
If you abuse alcohol, you may be susceptible to portal varices which can be fatal
The stomach's lining is protected from the corrosive gastric acid by a layer of mucous. If the mucous lining thins or is otherwise damaged, acid can damage the lining of the stomach, causing an ulcer. While the stomach's lining is able to resist gastric acid thanks to its layer of mucous, the esophagus and mouth aren't as well-protected. So, if there is a problem with the sphincter that keeps the stomach shut, and the stomach acid enters the esophagus, it can cause damage and pain that is felt as heartburn. Excessive vomiting can also damage the esophagus; gastric acid can even damage teeth due to vomiting.
Prolonged use of alcoholic beverages has been shown to damage the pancreas. Large amounts of alcohol lessens the enzymes released by the pancreas causing inflammation.
The esophagus is the tube that brings food and liquids from your mouth to your stomach. βBenignβ means itβs not cancerous. Benign esophageal stricture typically occurs when stomach acid and other irritants damage the lining of the esophagus over time. This leads to inflammation ( esophagitis) and scar tissue, which causes the esophagus to narrow.
Damage to the stomach, damage to the esophagus, and other organs, tooth decay, throat cancer, and a diminishing ability to hold food down.
