[Effect of alcohol on the stomach]

[Article in German]

Wolff G.

Regierungskrankenhaus, Berlin, DDR.

Review of literature. Already low dosis of alcohol damage gastric mucosa; alcohol especially causes erosions. In spite of acute damage there is no proven correlation between alcohol and chronic gastritis. HC1 secretion is stimulated by low dosis of alcohol only; higher dosis have no effect on acid secretion. Nevertheless beer or wine stimulate acid secretion very intensively by gastrin liberation. -Low concentrations of alcohol have no influence on gastric emptying, but higher concentrations delay emptying, solid meals more than liquid meals.
