Can you drink alcohol if you take aspirin?

It is not recommended to drink alcohol when taking aspirin because aspirin itself has a certain stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Although enteric aspirin may be relatively less stimulating to the stomach in the stomach, it will also play a certain stimulating effect on the intestine after entering the intestine. Drinking alcohol can not only aggravate the stimulation of the intestinal tract, but also the side effects of the drug. The most common side effect of aspirin is the risk of bleeding, especially bleeding in the cerebral blood vessels and gastrointestinal tract. If you drink alcohol after taking the drug, it will cause blood vessel congestion in the gastrointestinal tract, accelerating the risk of gastric ulcer and gastric bleeding caused by aspirin. The risk of intracranial hemorrhage is also increased by the antiplatelet and anticoagulant effects of aspirin, so alcohol is not recommended while taking aspirin.
