Alcohol can make you sleepy, drowsy, or lightheaded. Consuming alcohol while taking medicines can intensify these effects.
Studies suggest that adolescent alcohol abuse and dependence may prove to be more damaging than alcoholism in adulthood, as it kills brain cells in the hippocampus, blocking brain receptors that form memories.
Many prescription drugs carry the label "Do not drink alcohol while taking this medication;" the reason that this warning should be heeded is because the use of alcohol can increase the effects of drugs that make people drowsy, can alter the metabolism (break-down) of drugs, or reduce the effectiveness of drugs.
Alcohol has been known to increase digestion, but this may be due to its relaxing effect, when a person has a couple of drinks before a meal. In higher "doses", alcohol can cause gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining), which is one of the reasons that an individual may experience heartburn and nausea the day after binge drinking; heavy drinking on a continuous basis can lead to stomach ulceration.
