Take aspirin for a few hours before drinking

  Usually, patients are not recommended to drink alcohol within 24 hours after taking aspirin.  Aspirin is a non-steroidal antipyretic and analgesic drug, which also has the effect of inhibiting platelet agglutination and is mainly used for the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and other thromboembolic diseases. Aspirin has the effect of stimulating the gastric mucosa, and alcohol will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, so drinking alcohol while taking the drug is more likely to occur gastric mucosal damage. At the same time, aspirin inhibits the metabolism of alcohol in the liver, leading to the accumulation of alcohol in the liver and making it more likely that alcohol poisoning will occur. In addition, the damaging effects of alcohol and aspirin on the liver can be superimposed, so drinking alcohol while taking aspirin is not recommended. The metabolic process of aspirin in the body takes 24 hours, so it is recommended that alcohol be consumed in moderation after 24 hours of taking the drug.  Since most patients taking aspirin suffer from coronary heart disease, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases, drinking alcohol is not conducive to the health of patients, so patients are advised not to drink alcohol as much as possible.
