Can alcohol and coffee be consumed together?

Alcohol and coffee usually should not be consumed together, as it may cause certain damage to the body and lead to obvious discomfort. Alcohol is a relatively stimulating beverage containing a large amount of ethanol, while coffee contains a large amount of caffeine. If consumed simultaneously, they may damage the digestive tract, stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, and cause symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Additionally, they may stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Therefore, it is not recommended to drink alcohol and coffee together.

In daily life, attention should be paid to changes in the body. If symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and appetite loss occur, treatment with medications such as Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules, Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Capsules, and Sucralfate Suspension Gel can be used under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate the condition. It is important to maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods such as chili peppers and ginger, as well as greasy foods such as fried chicken and hamburgers, to reduce damage to the digestive tract. Adequate rest and sufficient sleep should also be ensured to avoid staying up late for extended periods.
