Single Binge Drinking Session Can Cause Leaky Gut

A new study found that even one session of drinking too much alcohol in a short time can hurt your gut.

For men, this means about five drinks in two hours, and for women, it's about four drinks.

This can make your gut 'leaky,' which means bad stuff like bacteria can get into your blood.

The researchers found that special cells in your immune system, called neutrophils, make webs that damage your gut.

But they also found a way to stop this damage using a special enzyme.

So, even if you think a little drinking won't hurt, it can still be bad for your gut.
