ACTION OF ALCOHOL ON INTERNAL ORGANS

Action on the stomach

 

The action of alcohol on the stomach is extremely dangerous. So much so that the stomach eventually is unable to produce the natural digestive fluid in sufficient quantity. In addition to that, the stomach will fail to absorb the food it takes in properly,  imperfectly digesting it. A condition marked by the sense of nausea, emptiness, prostration and distention will always be faced by an alcoholic. This results in a loathing for food and is teased with a craving for more drink. Thus there is engendered a permanent disorder which is called dyspepsia. The disastrous forms of confirmed indigestion originate by this practice.
