If you drink a lot, you may have alcoholic gastritis. This is where the lining of the stomach becomes inflammed leading to pain. This is because alcohol is DIRECTLY toxic to the cells that line the stomach. Alcohol=bad for the stomach. Your doctor may prescribe you certain drugs called H2 receptor antagonists such as cimetidine or ranitidine or possibly a PPI such as omeprazole or lanzoprazole. These drugs reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach (think of vinegar on a cut=pain) and allow the stomach to heal, but there is no point doing this unless you are willing to preferably not drink at all during the course of treatment, otherwise you will reverse the effects of the drugs and be back at square 1.

Is it possible for your poop to travel back to your stomach if digested too quickly?
Foodstuffs does not become feces until it is being acted on in the large intestines. Foodstuffs cannot travel backward because the body has special one-way doors called sphincters that keep one area closed so it cannot have backflow. So, no, feces cannot travel to your mouth.
Also, it does not matter if your body digests foodstuffs slowly or fast. Foodstuffs (the mush from food and liquid) will still only go one way--down--during digestion.
*If you vomit and see brown fluid with partially digested food, that is bile mixed with gastric juices. It comes from the stomach and is not feces (poop).
Are you meant to have a heart beat in your stomach?
If by "stomach" you mean "abdomen", then yes. The rhythmic beating felt in the lower abdomen is the abdominal aorta pulsating with each beat of the heart. In healthy individuals, it is completely normal.
If you are at all concerned about your own heart beat being felt in your abdomen, have your doctor take a look.
Are nutrients absorbed passively or actively in the digestive tract?
Both, depending on the size of the nutrient. Much of absorption works through either endocytosis or transport of small molecules by simple diffusion.
Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are both types of passive transport and endocytosis requires energy.

How do you get a flat stomach in 60 days?
Attempting to reduce fat in just one part of your body at a time is likely to be disappointing.
Fat reduction works like this: When you try to lose fat through calorie-burning exercises, the reduction occurs all throughout your body. Unlike muscle-building, it cannot be specifically targeted to one region. Also, the reduction in fat will not be quickly apparent because it will not be focused on only one spot on your body. So it's helpful to have a "slowly but surely" attitude.
Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:
Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise, no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar, and as little added salt and processed foods as possible. Eat 3 small-portioned meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit your calories (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.
Once you've reached your target weight, increase your calorie intake somewhat. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.
Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.
More guidelines:
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.
Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).
This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fad diets. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.
In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.
What may be causing a fluttery spasm on upper stomach area about the size of a quarter?
Spasms like this occur in some people with some regularity (I am one such person) my Doctor as well as a family friend who is a physician told me they are muscle spasms. And they feel and spasm differently than a muscle spasm in more common places because it is a different type of muscle. Skeletal versus Smooth. Still it should be shown to a qualified health practitioner in case there is an underlying cause or misinterpretation of the type of "spasm" you may be experiencing.
What can happen if you drink coke on an empty stomach?
