Although household white vinegar is typically only 4–7% acetic acid, drinking excessive, undiluted amounts is highly dangerous and not recommended. This can have severe corrosive effects on your body, causing significant harm to the digestive tract and leading to other systemic health complications.

Chronic misuse of stimulant laxatives has been documented to cause severe medical complications, including electrolyte disturbances and gastrointestinal damage. One lesser-known but serious consequence is the development of low albumin, also known as hypoalbuminemia, which occurs when the body's albumin levels drop below the normal range. This condition is primarily linked to the long-term, excessive use of laxatives rather than occasional use for constipation.
