Drinking alcohol causes double damage to the liver and esophagus

It's the end of the year again, and many people have a lot of social engagements, and eating and drinking too much is inevitable. In order to prevent the hangover from affecting their life and work the next day, many people will choose to vomit out the alcohol they have drunk by inducing vomiting after drinking too much. But inducing vomiting is actually worse than a hangover because it can easily lead to reflux esophagitis. People who frequently induce vomiting may even suffer from cardia mucosal tear syndrome, and vomit blood during the vomiting process.
Why do you want to vomit after drinking alcohol?

From December to the first month of the Chinese New Year, it can be said that the end of the year and the beginning of the year are filled with New Year's Eve parties, New Year's dinners, etc., and the frequency of drinking increases greatly. It is generally believed that the stomach is the first organ to be damaged by alcohol, but the esophagus, which carries food, is no less damaged than the stomach.
Generally, alcohol has a high alcohol content and can cause irritation and damage to the esophageal mucosa and gastric mucosa. Generally, the stomach can begin to repair its own mucosa after the alcohol passes through it, but the esophagus is not that simple because it has to endure the damage of the vomiting process. Therefore, drinking alcohol causes double damage to the esophagus. Gastric juice will corrode the esophagus. Drink some water or milk after vomiting.

Many people think that vomiting after drinking is fine, and few people pay attention to vomit. If there is blood mixed in the vomit, especially fresh blood, you need to be particularly vigilant, because this indicates that bleeding may have occurred in the lower esophagus.
The degree of bleeding may vary from person to person, but vomiting with blood after overeating may indicate that you have cardia mucosal tear syndrome. If the situation is serious, it may also be a case of esophageal rupture.
If you want to determine whether the esophagus is damaged and how severe the damage is, you need to undergo a professional endoscopic examination in the hospital. Therefore, when this happens, it is wisest to be admitted to the hospital for professional treatment as quickly as possible.
Although drinking is inevitable when friends and family get together during the Spring Festival, experts still remind everyone that although drinking is good, you should not drink too much and try your best to avoid a rapid increase in acetaldehyde concentration in the body. Drink in moderation and it is best to drink with food. Pay attention to replenishing water while drinking. In other words, if you can avoid drinking, try not to drink, and don’t get drunk and vomit. Good health is the key.
