About Alcoholism -alcoholism Information, Research and Treatment
Aspirin and alcohol are a potentially dangerous combination, warns Dr. Horace W. Davenport, professor of physiology at the University of Michigan Medical School. In a recent issue of Scientific American, Dr. Davenport writes that aspirin in combination with alcohol may break down the mucous lining of the stomach, causing bleeding. Aspirin alone, Dr. Davenport points out, may cause a small and harmless amount of bleeding in the stomach, while alcohol penetrates the stomach lining. Together the two agents may destroy the lining which prevents the stomach from digesting itself.
