Ulcers are a tear in the lining of the tissues. Usually occurring in the stomach and small intestine, though they can occur in other tissues of the body. The most common cause of stomach ulcers is a bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori. It can be cured with anti-biotics and can be transmitted by eating foods that are contaminated with this bacteria. The bacteria weakens the lining of the stomach which is then further irritated by acids which occur naturally in the stomach causing the ulcer and the pain and burning associated with the ulcer.

Is it true that alcohol consumption on an empty stomach can cause a peptic ulcer or bleeding ulcer?
No it won't cause one, but it will irritate it and not help you.

Mouth ulcers (canker sores) are normally small, painful lesions that develop in your mouth or at the base of your gums. They can make eating, drinking, and talking uncomfortable. They are not usually contagious unless they are caused by a virus or bacteria. Mouth ulcers go away within one to two weeks.
However, if you get a canker sore that is large or extremely painful or if it lasts for a long time, you should seek the advice of a doctor. She may have to do some testing and then had a idea of how to treat.
Why is an ulcer easily infected?
I assume the question refers to an ulcer on the skin and not in the mouth or stomach.
The skin is the body's first line of defence against bacteria and viruses. When there is a break in the skin, such as in ulcers or burns, grazes and lacerations, there is a break in the body's defence system that allows opportunistic infection causng agents to have an easy entry to get in and cause infection.
This is particularly problematic with diabetics with leg ulcers.
Ulcers need to be kept covered with non adhesive sterile dressings and treated with medicines prescribed by doctor or nurse. They must be professionally checked regularly to monitor the healing status.

What is a hard ulcer-like bump next to a new lip piercing?
It's likely just scar tissue - nothing serious. If you're concerned or have any pain, see a doctor immediately. Note: Try not to play with it too much. This is a common way to get bumps, lumps, or any other type of uncomfortable things around the hole. If it is a new piercing (like you mentioned), playing with it will only further these lumps.
-- Okay, I got a cartilage piercing about a month ago and everything was fine until about two weeks ago. It started to hurt really bad and it was sore constantly, but i thought it was just the healing process. Well, when i looked closer, it turns out i had a lump behind it. It was all red and gross, so i decided to pop it. It helped for a while, but the lump came back, so i went to see the person who pierced my ear. He told me that i had a small keloid. He told me that i should clean it out with salt water everyday or use neosporin on it every three days.
either way, he told me it would take about a month to clear up.
It was caused by bacteria that had gotten under the skin around my piercing, and it could very likely happen to a lip piercing too.
it'll go away if you clean and take care of it regularly.
How long do tongue ulcers last?
They usually last 1-2 weeks but if it lasts much longer than that or is appearing many times in a year you should consult a doctor.
Ulcers are typically detected by a barium swallow, upper endoscopy, or even a CT scan. Treatment can include medicine to kill the bacteria that caused the ulcer. Also, acid reducing medication (such as Rinatadine) can be used. And treatment can be administered through the endoscope.
The endoscope, btw, is a lighted tube that snakes into the stomach from the mouth. It has a light and a camera on it so the doctor can see what is going on.
