If you are suffering from an upset stomach caused by alcohol, it is important to practice good drinking habits to avoid stomach discomfort.

KAMPALA | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Would you like to know how to cure an upset stomach after drinking alcohol? Have you had a glass of wine or a few beers recently? Look no further, this article has what you’re looking for.

  • If you’ve had a glass of wine or had a few beers recently and you’ve developed an upset stomach, there are some quick and easy things you can do to alleviate the problem. 
  • The best way to minimize the pain caused by alcohol is to drink plenty of water. When you are dehydrated, you cannot absorb enough water through your system, which causes an upset stomach. 
  • Drink plenty of water and eat a lot of water-rich fruits and vegetables. 
  • You can also take antacid tablets. These tablets will neutralize the acid and make you feel better after a drink.
  • If you do end up with a severe stomach ache, you should take a nap or avoid drinking alcohol altogether.

Alcohol will decrease the sensitivity of the esophageal sphincter, the muscle that connects the esophagus and the stomach. 

Alcohol causes the esophageal sphincter to relax, allowing acid from the stomach to flow back up the esophagus.

Acetaldehyde

If you are concerned about the ramifications of too much alcohol, a natural remedy is acetaldehyde. When alcohol is consumed, it creates an inflammatory response that damages the body tissues. 

This reaction triggers vomiting, which is the body’s natural protective response against toxins.

Alcohol also causes an increase in acid production, which leads to a variety of unpleasant symptoms, including an upset stomach. 

Alcohol can also damage the lining of the stomach and pancreas, causing indigestion and pain.

In addition to causing an upset stomach, acetaldehyde can cause gastric cancer in people with a mutation in the ALDH gene. 

People with this mutation can’t metabolize acetaldehyde as efficiently as other people do. These people are at higher risk of gastric cancer as a result of their inability to metabolize alcohol properly. 

People with this genetic disorder should seek medical attention immediately to prevent symptoms and avoid drinking alcohol.

Acetaminophen

Cure an Upset Stomach After Drinking (1)

You might have heard that taking acetaminophen after alcohol is safe. But this is not always the case. In fact, if you have just one drink, you should avoid taking acetaminophen. 

Alcohol is metabolized in your liver, which breaks down many other types of pain relievers. This puts a lot of stress on your liver, and you may not want to add alcohol to the mix.

While acetaminophen is safe, you should still consult your doctor before taking this type of pain reliever. 

Alcohol may alter the enzymes in acetaminophen, making it more effective at treating stomach discomfort. 

Therefore, you should not take more acetaminophen than recommended. You should also check whether you are taking any other medications at the same time.

Ginger

If you’re suffering from an upset stomach after drinking alcohol, ginger might be just the thing you need. Ginger is rich in natural antioxidants and is one of the best remedies for nausea. 

You can also add ginger to smoothies or drink ginger ale to calm your tummy. Ginger is an excellent hangover remedy and has surprising health benefits. 

Just remember to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.

The underlying problem of an alcoholic hangover is usually an upset stomach. This symptom is usually accompanied by fatigue, dehydration, and inflammation. 

Ginger can help ease all of these symptoms. It’s easy to consume – simply add some fresh ginger to hot water and drink. 

Alternatively, you can also chew ginger fruit. Ginger is also available in many grocery stores as a fruit chew. 

If you’re not sure if ginger can help you recover from a hangover, you should first read the label on any supplement you’re taking.

Pedialyte

If you’ve ever experienced an alcohol hangover, you probably know the symptoms of the dehydration that comes with it. 

Hangover symptoms include dry mouth, nausea, dehydration, fatigue, and a headache. However, a drink made specifically for this purpose can help to cure the symptoms of an alcohol hangover. 

Many 20 and thirty-somethings swear by Pedialyte for upset stomach after drinking alcohol. This naturally occurring colorless liquid helps to quickly rehydrate the body and eliminate the hangover symptoms.

While it is important to drink plenty of water after a night of drinking, Pedialyte is most effective when taken before bedtime.

 

The timing is important. It is important to drink Pedialyte before bed to minimize the chances of awakening dehydrated. 

However, if you do wake up dehydrated after drinking alcohol, you may want to reconsider your strategy. If you’ve never hungover before, it may be worth a try.

Bone broth

A cup of bone broth after drinking alcohol can help you deal with your hangover. The broth’s high sodium content can help you retain water and restore fluid balance. 

While alcohol can cause a hungover, bone broth can help you get rid of toxins. 

In addition, it is a natural hangover cure and is free of added sugar. Try to drink at least one cup of bone broth per day.

While a cup of bone broth after a night out doesn’t cure your hangover, it can help you recover quickly from an alcohol-induced hangover. 

The bones in bone broth contain marrow, tendons, skin, and ligaments that can help your body replenish the minerals lost through drinking alcohol. 

Also, bone broth contains magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus. The broth is also a good source of electrolytes.
