Generally speaking, as long as the alcoholic beverage is above 20 degrees and more than 100 ml is consumed per hour, the damage to the gastric mucosa will begin, and may even lead to acute abdominal pain and gastric bleeding. Severe vomiting caused by excessive drinking can also cause tearing of the gastric cardia mucosa and cause massive bleeding.
