Doctors reveal why alcohol causes 'booze butt' and how to prevent it on New Year's

This article from Fox News discusses how alcohol consumption can lead to digestive issues, commonly referred to as 'booze butt'. Medical experts explain that alcohol irritates the digestive tract, alters gut bacteria, and interferes with water absorption in the intestines, leading to loose or watery stools. Factors such as the amount and speed of alcohol consumption, underlying digestive conditions, and genetic predispositions can increase susceptibility to these symptoms. Doctors recommend consuming lower-alcohol, lower-sugar drinks slowly, eating before drinking, staying hydrated, and avoiding mixing alcohol with caffeine or certain medications to mitigate these effects.
