Alcohol such as beer may cause diarrhea if it is not followed by good food. Through out your life there are bacteria that grow and carry out their metabolism. To maintain the microbial balance it is essential to have good food and keep your gut in good condition. These bacteria may be good or bad and they may excrete beneficial and non-beneficial compounds into the gut. It is up to you, to add good bacteria in your GI tract.
