                                According to a study published by the National Institutes of Health, ethanol in beverages with a higher alcohol content (like spirits) does not stimulate gastric acid secretion, whereas lower-ethanol drinks like beer and wine can. For those with sensitive digestion, understanding what alcoholic drinks are gentle on the stomach is key to enjoying a beverage without discomfort.
