Alcohol And Squirts?

Posted 08.28.2003 by Dr. Adams (189)

Dear Poopreport,

Why is crap so watery and fluid-like after a night of drinking? Bud mud or beer shit. Southern Comfort will really twist up your guts -- sometimes I use almost an entire roll of paper. Should I stop drinking or eat more fiber?

-- Insane Wayne


The answer is relatively straightforward: Alcohol is a toxin, and is toxic to the human body in even moderate amounts.

While we may have a few drinks and not feel anything, our body certainly takes notice of the alcohol. Alcohol is toxic to any area of the body that it touches -- from the point where it comes in contact with the oral cavity and is swallowed, down the esophagus, and into the stomach, alcohol is poisonous to cells and tissues of these parts of the digestive system.

The absorption of alcohol begins in the stomach and continues in the small intestine, where the bulk of the alcohol is absorbed. As the intestinal cells absorb the alcohol, the toxicity causes these cells to lose their ability to absorb water, and some cells even die. The cell injury and death leads to an outpouring of fluid from the intestinal lining, which is in turn poorly absorbed.

The end result is large volume secretory diarrhea. The diarrhea usually lasts for several hours until the alcohol is detoxified and removed from the digestive system.

Diarrhea after the consumption of alcohol is not a universal side effect. Many of us who drink do not have episodes of diarrhea afterwards. Why this occurs in some and not others is most likely related to the sensitivity of our individual digestive systems to alcohol, along with the amount of alcohol consumed. Furthermore, other kinds of food and drink can certainly cause and/or worsen diarrhea that was already caused by alcohol.

Does this mean we should never drink alcohol? No. Alcohol has been shown to have many beneficial effects throughout our bodies. However, I want to emphasize that alcohol is toxic -- it kills millions of people in the world every year, and should be consumed in small amounts with responsibility, moderation, and respect. Even by PoopReporters.

Best wishes,

Dr. Adams

Tydirium (516) -- 08.28.2003

That maks perfect sense. I crap a lot worse when I drink a few glasses of scotch then when I drink a few glasses of beer -- because there's more alcohol, which attacks my intestines.

Dang, man.

The Big Wiper (2292) -- 08.28.2003

Just a shout to the good doctor congratulating him on his new column, adding a new dimension to what is already the best website on the Net.

bob (not verified) -- 08.28.2003

well taht explains my typical sunday morning. thanks!

Carlos (69) -- 08.28.2003

I'm not too stoked about the idea of killing the cells in my shit factory, but I don't think I could live without icy cold beer. I'm used the watery dumps by now, and I actually kind of enjoy stinking up the shitter after a night of boozing.

I've always wondered about alcohol-related diarrhea, but never knew why exactly it happens. Thanks for the info, Doc.

Ass Phlegm (315) -- 08.28.2003

Geez! That certainly makes you think! Hmmm. Maybe I should quit drinking. Better think it over while I finish my gin & tonic.

Great piece, Doc!

Artful Dodger (394) -- 08.28.2003

Why is it that all the fun stuff is always bad for you? I guess next time I wake up hung over and wrung out, I can console myself with the knoweledge that it's my own damn fault I feel that way.

fake name (not verified) -- 08.28.2003

The worst is the Vodka shits. They burn so fucking badly!!! They are that clay like consistensy that is too hard to squirt, spray or gush, but too soft to get lubed and slide out. Not to mention the smell. Why is it only with vodka that my shits are so devilish? Damn pinko shit!

Hello,

Just wanted to thank you all for your positive comments. It has been a pleasure answering your questions and contributing to the Poop Report community. I look forward to continuing my role as the official Poop Report Doctor.

Sincerely,

-Dr. Adams

Adrian (not verified) -- 08.31.2003

I've always wondered why alcohol affects the smell of my output so much. Whether it's a beer or a couple of glasses of wine the next day I tend to make rather stink when the time comes to have a #2.

pootastic (not verified) -- 09.14.2003

giant stink. big chunk.

this drinking must stop some day.

goddamn. I love it.

Sharon D. (not verified) -- 09.20.2003

DR. I think i may have ate some rotten cheese.My stomach is churning and my farts realy stinks.Smells like rotten velveda. My grandson won't come near me.Everytime i move I fart.But i cant take a dump.What should I do , I don't want my family to leave me.It realy stinks around here.

Evan Moore, Ph.D (not verified) -- 09.23.2003

Careful there, Sharon. You may be devulging way too much information. You wouldn't want the doctor to call the police on you for contaminating your grandson's environment with noxious gasses that may harm his health. And heaven forbid you be arrested for child abuse! Besides, you should lay off the processed cheese stuff. It's very unhealthy, as you have found out the hard way.

i been having loose stools for some time know i use to be a heavy drinker but know i only drink on the weekends. did me drinking alot cause me to have diarrhia permently i cant think of any other reason why i have it everyday can you help.

The Shit Volcano (3818) -- 11.22.2003

Alcohol never makes me shit. I even put two shots of spiced rum in a strawberry-banana smoothie (e-mail me for a recipe) and nothing happens. All I do is pee a lot.

Otter (not verified) -- 12.08.2003

"Diarrhea after the consumption of alcohol is not a universal side effect. Many of us who drink do not have episodes of diarrhea afterwards."
I am convinced that I am THE one who throws off the curve. Cheap beer, Beam & Coke, and "repeaters" for the whole next day. I try to eat a few pickled eggs for effect.

Zeke (not verified) -- 12.13.2003

I'm 38, and I've only in the last couple of years begun to have this unfortunate effect. Was it like this for others, or has it always been like this for you? I know the body gets less effective as we age, but come on!

PooGeyser (not verified) -- 12.19.2003

Hey I have been having greenish yellow stools that are really mucousy (the consistency of phlegm) or PURE LIQUID that seemingly explodes out of my ass- sometimes these guys are bright neon green! What gives?

Also I have no appetite and yet I find myself gaining weight.
I think it might be due to my heavy drinking, but I am not sure.

Any ideas? I am 23, male and in generally otherwise good health. This has never happened before, but I was going MONTHS without a solid poop.

The Shit Volcano (3818) -- 12.25.2003

Ew! Sounds like a liver condition to me, PooGeyser. But I'm not a doctor. Just some nerd who reads a lot of medical journals when I'm not beating my head against a wall because I have no life. Oh, well. I'd still see a doctor about it, if I were you.

Laura (19) -- 01.09.2004

Dear poopreporter,
I cant poop if actual get something to come out of my ass it is bloody shit it burns and itches i also cant fart please write me back with something that can help thank you

i barely drink but the few times a year i do i get this bad diarrea do u think it may stop once my body gets more used to drinking? i hate it what can i do

DB (12) -- 01.14.2004

Last week I tried the new "no hangover" tablets called
RU21. I heard about them on the news around New Years.
I followed instructions to take two tablets before drinking and two after the 2nd drink. Also, one before
going to bed. They also said to take a Lot of water with them (I only had about 1 glass). I drank a lot of strong gin and mixer. The next day I had diarrhea and have had it ever since--around 4-5 days. Have never had it this long. Is it possible that this tablet is the cause of all this? I will certainly never use it again, and am afraid to drink alcohol too, so maybe it was a good experience.

some chick (not verified) -- 02.02.2004

This might be weird, but I drink everyday. I'm 23. I wake up drinkin. I take beer in the shower ect. Anyways, by the end of the day or really whenever I find my self shitting here and there. It's so gross. Me nd my friends thinks it's funny, but I wonder if this is serioous or what. And yes I took a weekend break under no choice (some jack ass gave me GHB) and I got sick...Anyways iI didn't shit now I'm ok N drinking again, and here's the shit's....what the hell?

freakazoid (not verified) -- 02.04.2004

Try not drinking, alcoholic dumbass!

The Shit Volcano (3818) -- 02.26.2004

Note to everyone out there. Do NOT drink rum and take valium!!! I don't remember quite what I did but my sister says I turned into some sort of psycho. I also almost threw up on myself. No weird poop to report. Sorry.

d'ANGELO (not verified) -- 03.14.2004

thanx for such info. a couple nites ago i had some vodka and woke up with the most terrible runs i hav ever had in 13 years. i didn't know what was wrong now i do. thanx man god bless

i'm sure that while there are other sites out there that can induce a pavlovian response of some sort, i give it up to the poopreport.com for actually making me have to run off at the ass within 10 minutes of visiting. coincindence?

my friends and i always referred to hangover shits as "beer stinkies"...i didn't know that alcohol was that toxic to your body...THANKS DR. ADAMS!!!

lonh (not verified) -- 04.02.2004

I have been sitting on my toilet for 1 hour having diahrrea and not getting up . then i felt like i was gonna barf then i did . the end

mm (not verified) -- 05.02.2004

I went out drinking night before last, had a few sips of a very spicy bloody mary, then two amaretto sours and two apple martinis with sprite chasers, this was over a period of 5-6 hours, I try to stick to the 1 drink an hour thing but I am sure that the last couple were heavily poured. Yesterday morning I woke up with a very mild hangover, fatigue, and was laying in bed and thought I had gas, but it instead turned out to be explosive diarrhea. Neon Yellow. I ate fried food while drinking (breaded cheese curds) and now I am worried that I either was exposed to Giardiaria (I think that's how it's spelled) Or maybe just drank too much while having greasy food (I didn't eat much else yesterday evening.. just some party snacks.) Can drinking diarrhea ever be bright yellow and burn your sphincter? How long should I wait before I go to the doctor if this persists? My stool (26 hours later) has firmed a little, but all day yesterday I couldn't eat anything, and milk especially screws up my system.. I have no health insurance.. but I know if I have an infectious disease, I at least have to go to the county health department so they can try to figure out where it's coming from.. but if this is my own damned fault for drinking.. I can tough it out. HELP!

musculus sphincter ani externus (not verified) -- 06.09.2004

Hey Doc, the skin around our (caucasian) assholes starts out nice and white as infants, then tends to become brown with age. Is there any way to reverse this? Is it due to exposure to bile or some other substance contained in feces? Any rectum-mendations would be most appreciated.

hey doc, ummi drank alot of dif drink like not alot but i mixed them then threw up twice in the morning then i threw up again and then it was okay but like 2 days after my poop is black n orange n like i woke up with a black tongue!! what should i do

wrecked-hole prolapse (not verified) -- 05.02.2005

Dr. Adams; it wouldn't be a secretory diarrhoea, then, would it? If it's just lack of water absorption from the small bowel, then it is a malabsortive, osmotic diarrhoea. Cholera, now that's a secretory diarrhoea. Better get studying for those board exams! You forgot to mention the part about the pancreatic inusfficiency, etc. that goes along with alcohol ingestion/toxicity, and its contribution to the diarrhoea that some people get. I personally have never had the runs from even heavy alcohol consumption. Straight Jack Danbiel's will dehydrate you so bad that you'll be lucky to pass a boulder the next morning. I find that a McDonald's Bacon, Egg 'n Cheese Biscuit stimulates the pancreas and other digesticles enough to push things on through.

jack (not verified) -- 06.12.2005

i drink daily in the evening.. pretty heavily a shot and a beer. I used to take immodium when i get a bout with the shits. but i stopped when i wound up in the hospital with pancreatitis and an ilius.. i still drink and don't take imodium anymore. no pancreatitus episodes, but diarreah is an issue. I am a responsible drinker. any help?

black russian (not verified) -- 08.02.2005

Beer makes me constipated. Hard liquor will sometimes give me the squirts. I had 3 jack on the rocks, 2 beers, and a black russian. Now i've got the squirts from hell. Pepto and imodium have done nothing. HELP!

Brewhaha (not verified) -- 11.23.2005

No matter how much I poo the next day... it'll never be enough to turn me off a drink.

Nova gasp! (not verified) -- 12.24.2005

This is about the only website with documented evidence by an MD that alcohol can truly cause diarrhea! It's Christmas EVE and my boyfriend has had the damned squirts all day --- after last night, when he drank a whole large bottle of Kahlua Mudslide. Now I can't even be with him today because I have a compromised immune system for unrelated reasons. and I dunno if it's not caused from something catchy. ass. I drank some too but I realllyyy coulda kicked his ass for drinking all of it. Shithead.

mott the poople (127) -- 12.24.2005

Mudslide....hmmm...
Whiskey and/or vodka never give me the shits...unless I go to Vegas and have a 24hr+ bender (and forget to eat). I hate it when that happens. Sometimes I think alcohol absorbs all the water in my poop. I have had the (rock hard)logs from hell after drinking whiskey. They could hold up a small fence.
For me, diarrhea and alcohol...rarely a connection.

Asphincter says WHAT...(!)

after a three day bender I get the worst shits ever, only for a couple of days then its gone. I have no idea what thats all about.

The Dumpster (2510) -- 01.25.2006

Terrrr, if you only get the squirts when you sober up, the obvious solution is to stay drunk all the time.

beershits (not verified) -- 04.27.2006

Strangely enough, my only problem is when I drink beer. Beer gives me the liquidy shits after having just two or three. Anything else (hard liquor, etc.) does not have the same effect. Explanation anyone?

The Dumpster (2510) -- 04.27.2006

I know this has been explained somwhere before, but whatever happened to Dr. Adams? Did he and PooNurse run off together?

partypooper (not verified) -- 05.05.2006

no wonder i keep getting the runs, the last three times i went drinking. i thought it might have been because i ate seafood (i completely avoid certain types of seafood when i'm sober, but recently people keep getting me to eat those shellfishes after a few drinks and i'm more easily persuaded), after reading this i guess it must be the alcohol. this annoys me -- years ago the hangovers weren't as bad, and the alcohol never gave me diarrhea no matter how much i drank......

Northy (107) -- 05.18.2006

My problem with beer shits is that I usually go out on the saturday and play football 'soccer to the yanks' early Sunday morning. But of course a beer shit is deadly and gives you no warning on when and where it shall stir. It tends to be when getting changed before a game so a rush to find the changing room toilets is on, and there are some nasty toilets in northern england. I once had to go to college after a night out, the beer shit sturred half way to college, the point where you are furthest from a bog. I was on the toilet for 30mins and turned up to lesson 10 mins late with a sweat on.

Hershey Man (not verified) -- 06.28.2006

I am 26yo and recently had a 3 day session among friends trying different vodkas, only drinking at nite. On the next day after these 3 days, I got the worst yellow watery stool of my life. Still have it. Cant sleep, hardly eat... Everything just goes though me. :(

Guess I should not drink vodka anymore. :(

captain ring sting (not verified) -- 07.15.2006

Last night i drank a half bottle of vodka with 3 tins of that red bull crap, I'm glad I couldn't sleep or I'm sure i would have woken up covered in slimy black bum product. Not only that but i vomited last night and this morning aswell, curse this evil russian concoction I'm stickin to good old fashioned beer in future

daphne (4509) -- 07.15.2006

Don't blame the vodka. Read up about Red Bull mixed with alcohol.

I'm 32, I've been drinking fairly heavily for the past 7 yrs. This shit stuff only occured in the past 3. After a binge, I shit yellowy,watery, mucus type shit. And it burns my asshole. Goes away after two days of abstaining from alcohol.

lmaooo

ok, it seems like most of you have IBS, and thats not a laughing matter at all. I used to drink a lot and never had a problem. Then one fateful day I took a small dose of antibiotics and then went out and downed a few tequilas and beers. The next day I had the worst diarrea ever! 3 years later and I am still not ok.

My advice to all you boozers out there. STOP DRINKING ITS NOT WORTH IT!

and if you do. do it in moderation!

hey, nice site doc!
every time i drink jim beam and coke i have the worst shits the next day.. even worse its black from all the coke.. its fucked cos i cant even eat.. but thanks again i understand why I shit alot after drinking!

I went to a place that had all the liquor you can drink for $10.00. Well after they closed I went back to my hotel and started puking my brains out which in turn led to me shitting all over the hotel room floor and my pants. Lying there in puke and shit. Was I poisoned by alcohol?

JustAsking: i do. today is the worst I've experienced "alcohol shits" and all I drank was cap't and coke all night. My stomach is in knots and i'm finding myself having explosive shitting episodes.

I typically have mild shits after drinking, but looking at a previous post, i was on antibiotics recently and i'm wondering if that's causing this.

Liquor in moderation is good for my bowels... it seems to stimulate it and everything is much fuller in the morning. An excess or light alcohol (wine,beer) is not good.

Anonymous Shitter #2 (not verified) -- 05.03.2007

man some of these made me laugh out loud. Just recently I've been peeing out of my ass almost constantly. It stopped after a couple days once, with a little medication for diarrhea, but a little more alcohol quickly saw that my pee came out of my ass again. . not really stomach pains, but some churning in there. Dunoo if I should take it serious or not, nothing on the web seems to point to something life threatening, but still I'm wary of the ass peeing.

Dysentary: Having the squirts for a prolonged period of time can cause dehydradion. I would stop drinking, make an appointment with the doc and get everything checked out. Better safe than sorry.

I recently cut way the heck back on drinking, and now more often than not have solid turds again. Whiskey gives me the morning shits then by the evening everything is a-ok in that department.

So it's not just me who has this problem then. Good to know. I had been just fine drinking - even bingeing now and then with the boys; however, ever since I turned 29 or so, I'm seriously unwell after drinking, even only a modest three beers or one glass of wine on a healthy, full stomach. I have serious evacuation issues. My stomach doesn't like the booze but my brain sure does. I've had to reconcile the two recently. I'm no longer a drinker for health reasons. To those who can still imbibe, all I can say is count your lucky stars.

8 yrs. of this is enough (not verified) -- 07.27.2007

I have had this problem for more than 8 years. Two or more drinks of any thing and there is trouble. I'm 43 and just quit drinking for health reasons. I swear I've almost died from alot to drink and very hot spicy food. Live to learn and learn to live.

The Thunderous ... (741) -- 07.27.2007

I went to college in Milwaukee. There is a place there called Real Chili. When I tell you if you get their chili to go it literally leaks thru the styrofoam container its NO LIE this stuff is LETHAL. Combine THAT with a night of drinking. Let me tell you if you are too drunk to order be careful,some people think its funny to order for you and they always get the chili of the FIVE alarm variety. This not only produces shits of biblical proportions, it also produces DAYS worth of LASER farts that burn holes in your sheets and in your shorts. It was and probably still is quite the place!

Hi Doc,
31 yo, I admit I drink about 6-8 glasses of wine per night. I constantly have the runs. I take metamucil but it doesn't help. I'm worried about bowel cancer. do you think it may just be the wine?

daphne (4509) -- 08.18.2007

This question would be best handled in the hands of a professional wino. Me.

Your answer is yes. The wine is definitely giving you the runs.

I have just spent 15 mins reading all the comments (and been for an ass blast twice in that time..) I'm not sure that I have cured anything but i laughed so hard i nearly shit myself! Ive suffered with this for about 8years and boy is it getting wearing. I keep saying ill give up the beer for a bit to see if it is that which causes it but i cant seem to manage more than 1/2 day without a pint. Maybe the squirts isnt my only issue..... haha keep smiling.

i google poop (not verified) -- 12.09.2007

I drank a few drinks that were made with some Midori and blue Curacao last night. It stained my poop green! But that's way better than when I drink vodka and my shit smells so bad. I don't know why, but vodka makes it so stinky. Nothing else does it to me.

phatmanxxl (532) -- 12.10.2007

I'm a pothead so I don't drink, but I might just go out and get a bottle of vodka to experience the infamous beer shits. Sounds better than a bum rush from a mc d's sausage egg and cheese!

Eight years of this is enough (not verified) -- 12.19.2007

I slowed down from 4 or 5 times a week of drinkin heavey. To once or twice and often have two beers instead of 12 and guess what? Shits be gone! Suddenly fiber and eating right and exercise are not so uncool. As long as I moderate to the extream I think I can have a few good Ice cold brews we so love & admire. What do you think?

I've always wondered why alcohol affects the smell of my output so much. Whether it's a beer or a couple of glasses of wine the next day I tend to make rather stink when the time comes to have a #2. drug rehab in california

Monkey Squirt (not verified) -- 01.05.2008

This never used to be a problem for me, but it has become one. I stopped drinking while pregnant and breastfeeding (duh), but now even one drink will leave me with horrible cramps, foul gas and diarrhea for the next 24 hours. More than one drink and you can add vomiting to the list. It really sucks... I'm not a heavy drinker and I would like to be able to go out a couple times/year and not ruin the next day or two for myself.

bleh. (not verified) -- 01.11.2008

so i have read all of these and realized that only onne pperson has posted a CURE for the diharrea problem. for me, Jose Cuervo (tequila) gives me NO hang over or diharrea. and thats saying a lot, considering that i get the squirts from most all types of alcohol. the one night that i had Jose Cuervo, i was expecting to have some narly shits the next morning, but even though i had a TON of it that night, i had no sort of stomach pains the next morning.. so give that a try. PATRONE on the other hand.. did give me the shits. i only trust good old Jose Cuervo.

TidalSpiral (not verified) -- 01.23.2008

Oh man does this topic touch home (and cotton). I've been having the Hell Squirts off and on for some time, but I had already figured out it was related to my drinking. I'm only 21 and other forms of liquor don't seem to do too bad, plus if I eat a good amount of real food (non-gas station or McDonald's level garbage) it stifles the effect. However on my normal diet and not eating a ton most days, the vodka gets my guts twisted like a copper wire in a hurricane. Unfortunately it's the alcohol I love most too. Grey Goose always lets me have it but I just got some Stoli Elit - may God help my culo.

If anything has come out of reading this discussion board it is that I must endevour to try new varietals of alcohol. I too am one of those 30+ year olds who has always consumed large quantites of alcohol without a drama... up until recently. At first I thought it was rum-bum... so I kissed goodbye to the rum. But then champagne, port... you name it. Its great to hear Im not alone and that my liver's not packing up on me.

shitwit (619) -- 02.04.2008

I'm glad I've cut way back on the booze too. With my angry bowels and the lactose intolerance in full swing, any kind of liquor just adds fuel to the fire. It may take people many years and lots of stained shorts to come to this conclusion, but sooner or later we all poop ourselves.

Doc I am a 22 year old heavy drinker and I shit dirty green waste into the toilet after long nights of drinking dry bourbon and tequila. I had some really cheap Tequila last night and now I am farting and my ass is leaking. I have been on the toilet for hours. But I think that it might be due to the fifteen dollars worth of Taco Bell I ate after 6 shots of Pepe Lopez. Help me Doc!

Male24 (not verified) -- 04.22.2008

I've been a heavy drinker since i was 16, most of the time cheap malt liquor(about 5pints of 8.5 a day) since i cant hold a job due to my alc intake lol. ive got this for the last 3 years but when i do stop drinking for more then 2-3days it goes back to normal.

i also sometimes get throw up in the same constant squirting, for up to 12hrs at a time sometimes, and it has the same traces of yellow bile my shit does, sometimes my shit goes BLACK to lol, thats never fun to see. no odd smells tho :) , 90% of the time anyways.

Well after a night out and heavy drinking session. ove vodka i always get th e runs but also a foostie smell as well. I also sweat really bad below the waist. Any help? Cheers

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 05.05.2008

I'm only 22 but have always been more a pothead than a boozer, and maybe I should stay that way. We bought a keg of Amber Bock this weekend since the beer stores are closed on Sunday and we didn't want to run out. I only weigh about 100 lbs, and drank quite a few beers, and now I literally can't even stop swearing and whining enough to read on the pot! It's AWFUL! The majority of these posts being from 30+ people makes me wonder if my body is just not designed for alcohol. This happens almost EVERY TIME I get drunk! Tipsy, I'm okay. Drunk, I'm shitting everywhere. I'm also poop shy so I just have to pray my boyfriend is asleep and I can creep downstairs.

Time to go poop again. :( My asshole is on fire.

Max (not verified) -- 05.18.2008

This secretion thing just happened to me this morning, after a hard night of drinking. I'm a really big guy who is 17 years old and can drink more than anyone I know. I drank something like 1.5 L of different 40% alcohols last night and passed out. I have several questions for you doctor: I have heard of being able to increase one's tolerance through consumption, is this attributed to the killing of bowel cells? If so, could I be able to drink so much because I have a weak/damaged intestine? Am I in danger if this is happening at such a young age? How will I know if my cells have been killed? Will they regenerate over time and if so, how long do I need to go without alcohol?

daphne (4509) -- 05.18.2008

Max, if your post is true, then you've got bigger problems that your bowel cells sloughing off. Drinking that much at your stated age puts you in a position to have serious alcohol troubles later on in life. Serious. Like alcoholic troubles.

I'd recommend taking a break just to see if you can. I'm 39 and love to drink. Just love it. Put a good bottle of red wine in front of me and it won't last that long. However, it seems that I don't have to worry about things progressing to alcoholism - my drinking has a limit, and over the years, I've realized that it always stops before getting to a point where I honestly worry. Not everyone is that lucky. And many people who start drinking as young as you become hard core drinkers and end up addicted, lifelong alcoholics.

I'm not saying that you're one of them, I'm saying that by drinking this early, you're increasing the odds of becoming a drunk tenfold. By the way, I cannot take pain killers. I am a hard core pain killer addict and have very little control over them. When I broke my foot a few years ago, I could not take pain meds because I would have gotten hooked again. That's my burden. It's something I have to deal with every time I get injured. Honestly dealing with it - my addiction - is important.

Please take care of yourself and give your body a break from the booze. If you find yourself obsessing over it or wanting to drink really bad, talk to someone. If not, then good. Your organs (brain, liver, stomach) have to last you a long, long life hopefully. Take care of them! Big hug.

I've only recently had this problem surface too. I'm 25 and have been drinking anywhere from 1 to 5 drinks a day since I was 21 and only had these sort of intestinal problems arise over the past year.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 06.13.2008

What if you might be lactose intolerant and/or a heavy drinker, but you can't give up dairy or alcohol. How do you figure out what the problem is?

daphne (4509) -- 06.13.2008

Then you know what the problem is - you don't care enough about your health to stop drinking for a week or two.

Don't think I'm judging you, because I'm not. I am a wino. I love a good buzz and will always have a little wine with dinner, even if I'm 99 and have to sip it through a straw.

What I'm saying is that you have a conscious choice to either chose
1.) your health
2.) your buzz

Make up your mind to get through 2 weeks without each thing, one at a time, and ask people for help - your friends, family. You can substitute soy milk for regular milk during those 2 weeks and at least get your cereal fix on.

Oh, what do you drink that has alcohol? If it's beer, you might not be allergic to alcohol, but beer. Some people can drink wine and liquor, but not beer because of the hops or wheat.

Crapper John Mc... (98) -- 07.15.2008

I never had a problem until I STOPPED drinking every night. Before, if I had super duper heavy night drinking, I could just count on a really great shit the next morning and maybe a minimal hangover. Now, I drink like two beers and I'm immediately shitting and continue for the rest of the night and following day. And they're the kind of watery shits that don't give you much warning. Yeah. But I just make sure all of my drinking takes place within a 15 foot radius from a washroom. And no funny business...anymore.

I had some LIT's and a salad....OHHH MAN DID I PAY FOR THAT. Literally i thought i was going to shit my pants. Thank GOD we lived only a few mintues away (cause i have this thing where i CANNOT poop in a public restroom). I got home just in time. Swear to God i pooped that entire salad back out.

It is not the booze but the collateral things associated with boozing too much. You eat things you would not eat sober, you do things with others you would not do sober, you laugh to hard, you cry to much you do whatever with your emotions and there will be hell to pay in the morning.

Deborinsky (not verified) -- 03.15.2009

I have had constant loose bowel movement for the past 14 months, surely it cant be the fact that I enjoy sparkling wine each night after work, about 2 standard drinks a night with a meal. My poop is always bright yellow to light tan in colour and I think I deliver these about 3 to 4 times a day.I am healty in every other part of my body except having this problem. Advice anyone..constructive advice that is ?

daphne (4509) -- 03.15.2009

Deb,
If the poop color correlates with the sparkly, then what other answer do you have? Lol!

By the way, if you're taking 2 drinks a day, good for you. Your heart says thanks. As to tan poop, I'd take a big stab and say that the bubbles in the drink are oxygenating your doody, thus creating a totally different environment, and thusly, different color.

Don't sweat it. If your poo is coming out OK and you feel well, you're probably OK.

Best wishes, Deb,

daph

Hey Deb - I'm glad I'm not alone. I've been reading though this rather informative post (trying not to cringe at some of the excessive coarse language) and realise that there are a lot of people out there who do drink in moderation and are affected similarly.

I'm 38, healthy, and for the past three years I had 1-2 cocktails about 4-6 days a week. And for the past 19 months I have had mild diarrhoea mornings, not debilitating, but enough to be very annoying, some days worse than others. After abstaining from alcolohol altogether recently for unrelated reasons, I have noticed that bowel movement is beginning to be more normal.

I think alcohol and IBS must be related.

Ass Piss Opera 2012 (not verified) -- 03.27.2009

I accidentally drank half a bottle of vodka the other night and it feels like someone has been twisting a knife in my gut for 2 days. This of course has been accompanied by horrific bowl movements the likes of which I have never experienced before.

Logically shouldn't drinking more make the stomach stronger? Like getting a callous, or dish-hands? How nice would it be to have a iron belly.....

SOOO glad Im not the only one. I cant have two drinks with out shitting for hours IT SUCKS. I just wanna get drunk as hell and not shit myself. Some days Im fine and others Im not?? I only drink vodka and it's usaually okay as long as I drink slow.. most times it happens are the days after when I dont remember any of the pictures I see later! So maybe the slower you go the better?? I turn 21 in a bout a month and I def dont want it to ruin my night!! Any suggestions has ANYONE found a way to fix it or at least help?!

daphne (4509) -- 04.15.2009

If you're losing controls of your bowels, you are most likely attaining a 0.3 BAC.

No, I'm not kidding.

I am an experienced drinker and love to drink. I love good wines and about once or twice a month drink bourbon with my husband. If I drink too fast, it catches up with me, and I hate it now at the ripe old age of 40.

After doing some research, I've found that a 0.3 is not only 3 times over the legal limit, it's also close to comatose. This means that at the time you're shitting yourself, you have the equivalent of 9 to 10 drinks in your system at one time.

At a 0.3 BAC, you can be passed out. Your ability to speak is severely hampered, and you will not be able to stand without help, if you are able to stay awake at all. At a 0.3 BAC you will pee your pants. At this point your central nervous system is so affected that your sphincter muscles will not be able to work at 100% - ie, you can crap your pants.

I love to party as much as the next person (I even have a drinking helmet), so please listen to me when I say that you might want to cut back a bit. You should be drinking slow so your body can adjust to what you're ingesting. You are risking not only hurting yourself, but if you're a female, you can be sexually assaulted while passed out. No matter your sex, you can be mugged, drawn on, or someone can kick your ass. Not only that, but you are putting your friends in the spot where they have to babysit you. That's not too cool to do to your friends. Sooner or later, they'll stop partying with you.

My best, best advice to you if you're going to drink is to drink slowly, and for god's sakes eat something before you go out on your birthday. You'll have so much more fun if you can remember what happened. If you want to get a buzz fast, then have a few quick drinks, but then wait a bit. Have bar snacks, good ones for your stomach like bruschetta or baked potato fries. Chew your food well. Drink water during the evening, too.

Whatever you do, though, if you plan on getting fucked up for your birthday, please promise me that you have friends ready to take care of you. You're going to need it.

Oh, and one more piece of advice. Take a few of those vitamin b drinks with you, Instant Energy. Have a few waiting for the next day when you are ready to wake up. Have Gatorade, Pedialyte, or a decent sports drink waiting along with some Ramen Noodles in your kitchen.

Ah, to be young again.
