How does drinking beer and taking aspirin effect you?

1. Increased Risk of Stomach Bleeding: Both alcohol and aspirin can irritate the lining of the stomach, increasing the risk of stomach bleeding or ulcers. Alcohol also impairs the blood's ability to clot, further amplifying the risk of bleeding if injury occurs.

2. Reduced Effectiveness of Aspirin: Alcohol can slow down the absorption of aspirin from the stomach, potentially reducing its effectiveness as a pain reliever or fever reducer.

3. Dehydration: Alcohol has a diuretic effect, causing increased urine production and can lead to dehydration. Taking aspirin while dehydrated can strain the kidneys.

4. Heartburn and Reflux: Both alcohol and aspirin can relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which can lead to heartburn and acid reflux.

5. Liver Damage: Excessive and regular alcohol consumption can cause liver damage. Combining alcohol with aspirin adds additional stress to the liver, potentially leading to more significant toxicity and risk of Liver damage.

6. Interaction with Medications: Both alcohol and aspirin can interfere with the metabolism or effectiveness of other medications, and potentially interact adversely with some of them.
