pepto bismol


Pepto-bismol solves most of my indigestion problems and it's a good thing because I can't imagine competing with diarrhea...in fact one time I had to sit out due to food poisoning and that was torture! What does this have to do with alcohol...
Alcohol is a toxin and can cause Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
When ingested alcohol irritates the stomach leading to nausea. If too much alcohol is consumed, it causes the stomach to dispel the alcohol by vomiting. Alcohol that isn’t vomited will be passed through the GI tract, causing diarrhea. The effects of alcohol on the GI tract can still be felt 14 hours after consumption; which can leave you on out of bounds and pepto-bismol wont even help with this!
