Is brandy good for stomach ache?

[lynx2051]

I dunno if this is just a myth or not.

It's a myth.

Brandy and other alcohols have traditionally been used as ;gripe water' - to stop e.g. children forom complaining, as an active placebo. "Mommy's going to give you some medicine and everything will be better."

 

[Whipped Dream]

all alcohol --brandy included-- disrupts the mucous membrane lining in the stomach and contributes to ulcers. I imagine if anything it would exacerbate a stomach ache.

Yep and yep.

Ginger works well for me, although there is an inconclusive evidence base, if you're looking for a simple home remedy.. don't have lots though as it can irritate your stomach in large quantities.

Usually some Pepto helps my stomach aches.

Quell stomach aches with aloe juice or pepto... They both coat the lining of your stomach to sooth many types of stomach pain.
