What happens to the digestive system when alcohol disrupts homeostasis?

When alcohol disrupts homeostasis in the digestive system, it can impair the secretion of digestive enzymes and gastric acid, leading to reduced nutrient absorption. Additionally, alcohol can irritate the stomach lining, causing inflammation and increasing the risk of gastritis and ulcers. Over time, excessive alcohol consumption can also damage the liver, further affecting digestion and metabolism. This disruption can result in a range of gastrointestinal issues, including nausea, vomiting, and malnutrition.
