Does cayenne pepper interact with alcohol?

Question

i take cayenne pepper capsules and was wondering if it interacts with alcohol in any way. does it?

Answer 1

Hey, liven up your booze!  Take the cayenne in the drink!  It's called pepper brandy in Germany, where I first tried it.  Oh, but if you think it's got medicinal qualities, I have to disappoint ya...

Answer 2

No. Cayenne does not have any interaction with alcohol whatsoever, even taken at the same time.

It actually is good for the stomach and shouldn't irritate most people as the other posters said.

When someone takes cayenne pepper for stomach disorders such as ulcers, this actually encourages the rebuilding of the stomach's lining.

When taken internally, cayenne soothes the digestive tract and stimulates the flow of stomach secretions and saliva. These secretions contain substances which help digest food.

Answer 3

Yes, as a combination they can irritate the stomach lining

Answer 4

They both irritate the stomach (as the other answerer pointed out), but having several hours between them should be just fine because neither would be in the stomach at the same time as the other if you did that.
