    In addition to stimulating (exciting and then inhibiting) the nervous system, alcohol (ethanol) also has a strong stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Among them, the effect of alcohol on intestinal peristalsis is very obvious, especially when the amount of alcohol consumed is large. Regardless of drinking liquor or beer, the effect of promoting bowel movements and thus alleviating constipation is relatively significant. Liquor has high alcohol content and strong stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract. Although beer has a low alcohol content, it has a large water content. If low temperature (cold cold beer) is added, the effect of stimulating bowel movement is more significant.
