Alcohol consumption significantly increases the risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage, particularly in individuals who consume alcohol excessively. This association is evident in various studies that have examined the impact of alcohol on the gastrointestinal tract.

Studies indicate that individuals with alcohol use disorder may have a life expectancy that is 24 to 28 years shorter than that of the general population.

For men with severe alcohol-related health issues, the average life expectancy may drop to between 47 and 53 years. (To compare, the life expectancy for healthy American males is approximately 75 years.) This suggests that a significant period of heavy drinking — often estimated at 10 to 20 years or more — can lead to serious health consequences and potentially fatal outcomes.
