脉候 短疾而滑，酒病。（《脉经》）
证状 凡饮酒过多，酒毒渍于肠胃，流溢经络，使血脉充满，令人烦毒 乱，呕吐无度，乃至累日不醒，
往往有腹背穿穴者，是酒热毒瓦斯所为，故须摇其身以消散也。（《病源论》）
夫酒性宣通而不停聚，故醉而复醒，随血脉流散故也。今人有荣卫痞涩，痰水停积者，因复饮酒，不至大醉
大吐，故酒与痰相搏，不能消散，故令腹满不消。（同上）
酒者，水谷之精也，其气 悍而有大毒，入于胃则酒胀气逆，上逆于胸，内熏于肝胆，故令肝浮胆横，而狂悖变
怒，失于常性，故云恶酒也。（同上）（按∶此取《灵枢·论勇篇》，改酒悖作恶酒。）
酒性有毒而复大热，饮之过多，故热毒瓦斯，渗溢经络，浸渍腑脏而生诸病也。或烦毒壮热而似伤寒，或洒淅恶
寒有同温疟，或吐利不安，或呕逆烦闷，随脏气虚实而生病焉。病候非一，故云诸病。（同上）
酒者，熟谷之液也，其性 悍急疾，后食而入，先食而出，能通关节而走肤腠。上古作汤液醪醴，为而不用。
后世嗜之无节，或饮过度，停积不散，蕴滞于胃，散流诸脉，熏蒸腑脏，令人志乱，乃至不醒，有连日而无所觉知者，
甚则中毒，而为酒疸诸热之病也。（《圣济》）
轻者头痛眩晕，呕吐痰逆，神昏烦乱，胸满恶心，饮食减少，小便不利。甚者大醉之后，忽然战栗，手足厥
冷，不省人事，名曰酒厥。（《汇补》）（按∶酒厥见《琐碎录》，引在后，又宜与《厥》门相参。）
好酒之人，湿热内积，生痰动火，往往发为口眼歪斜，舌强肢废，混似风中血脉，宜解酒除湿，消痰清火，
不可以风药误治。（同上）
酒随人为患 少年纵酒者，多成劳损。夫酒本狂药，大损真阴，惟少饮之未必无益，多饮之难免无伤，
而耽饮之则受其害者十之八九矣。且凡人之禀赋，藏有阴阳，而酒之性质，亦有阴阳。盖酒成于酿，其性则热；
汁化于水，其质则寒。若以阴虚者纵饮之，则质不足以滋阴，而性偏助火，故热者愈热，而病为吐血衄血，便血
尿血，喘嗽，躁烦狂悖等证，此酒性伤阴而然也。若阳虚者纵饮之，则性不足以扶阳，而质留为水，故寒者愈寒，
而病为臌胀泄泻，腹痛吞酸，少食，亡阳暴脱等证，此酒质伤阳而然也。故纵酒者，既能伤阴，尤能伤阳，害有
如此，人果知否。矧酒能乱性，每致因酒妄为，则凡伤精竭力，动气失机，及遇病不胜等事，无所不至，而阴受
其损，多罔觉也。夫纵酒之时，固不虑其害之若此；及病至沉危，犹不知为酒困之若此。故余详明于此，以为纵
酒者之先觉云。（《景岳》）（按∶酒性伤阴，本出东垣；气热质湿，亦出《六要》。并引在治例中。）
酒中有热有湿，均足为患，因其本气而患之。本气虚寒者，原不患热，惟患其湿，其湿日积，阳神日衰，一旦
协水而动，阴邪横发，闭痛呕逆，上下交剧，法当急驱其阴，以回其阳。真阳素旺者，不患其湿，而患其热，热
遗后阴，便
血生痔，热遗前阴，茎生诸疳，法宜分解其热，而清其毒。（《舒氏伤寒论集注》）
酒入脏腑 以酒为浆，《素问》是戒；怯士酒悖，《灵枢》有讥。丹溪以醇酒冷冻饮料立论，而载葛花解
酲汤，为酒客之良药。若日久病深，变症一起，又难以穷其源矣。呜呼！能舍是而不商哉。人之嗜酒，其始也必
专入一脏。予以酒后之态推之，入于肺者则多言多嚏，入于心者则多笑多忘，入于肝者则善怒，入于脾者则思睡，
入于肾者则思淫。多言伤肺，其后则变咳嗽消渴；多笑伤心，其后则变怔忡不寐；多睡伤脾，其后则变痞满疸臌；
善怒伤肝，其后则变胁痛吐血；思淫伤肾，其后则变腰疼脊软。既变之后，固不可专治乎酒，然亦不可竟忘乎酒。
盖酒之伤人，湿而且热，湿热之毒，永久不变，非若他症之有六淫七情、经络传变之不齐也。故治之者，必于本
脏药中，而兼去湿热之品。至于葛花解酲，惟为酒客初病者设，因酒必先入胃，故用消食理滞、上下分消之药。若
以之概治变后之症，固非丹溪意也。然予所商五入，亦大略耳。外有酒后多汗强饮则胃受之，酒后面青则胆受之，
酒后多尿则小肠膀胱受之，酒后积痢则大肠受之，鲜不为病。惟胃与小肠、膀胱受者，汗则从表而散，尿则从便而
除，虽多饮亦能终其天年，古之所谓酒中仙者，其以此乎。谚云酒有别肠，误言也。（《医意商》）
治例 夫酒者，大热有毒，气味俱阳，乃无形之物也。若伤之，止当发散汗出则愈矣，其次莫如利小便，
二者乃上下分消其湿。今之酒病者，往往服酒 丸大热之药下之，又有用牵牛、大黄下之者，是无形元气受病，反
下有形阴血，乖误甚矣。酒性大热以伤元气，而复重泻之，况亦损肾水，真阴及有形阴血俱为不足。如是则阴血愈虚，
真水愈弱，阳毒
之热大旺，反增其阴火，是以元气消耗，折人长命，不然则虚损之病成矣。酒疸下之，久久为黑疸，慎不可犯（《辨
惑》此下曰∶不若令上下分消其湿），以葛花解酲汤主之。（《脾胃论》）（按∶《微义》于此说稍有辨评，然
语意不了，仍不录。）
按酒之为物，气热而质湿。饮之而昏醉易狂者，热也，宜以汗去之；既醒则热去而湿留止，宜利小便则已。
二者宜酌而用之，大抵葛花解酲汤备矣。（《六要》）

[Pulse Diagnosis] The pulse is short, rapid, and slippery, indicating alcohol-induced disease. (Mai Jing)
[Symptoms] Whenever excessive alcohol is consumed, the toxicity of wine soaks into the stomach and intestines, flows into the meridians, causing the blood vessels to become full, leading to irritability, pain, mental confusion, incessant vomiting, and even remaining unconscious for days. Often, there are piercing pains in the abdomen and back. This is caused by the heat and toxicity of alcohol, so it is necessary to shake the body to help dissipate it. (Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun)
The nature of wine is disseminating and unobstructed, hence one wakes up after getting drunk because it disperses along with the blood vessels. Now, some people have stagnant and sluggish Ying and Wei Qi, with phlegm and water accumulation. If they drink again, even if not to the point of severe drunkenness or vomiting, the wine and phlegm contend with each other and cannot dissipate, resulting in abdominal fullness that does not resolve. (Ibid.)
Wine is the essence of grain and water; its Qi is fierce and highly toxic. Upon entering the stomach, it causes bloating and rebellious Qi, rising upward to the chest and internally steaming the Liver and Gallbladder. This causes the Liver Qi to float and the Gallbladder Qi to surge horizontally, leading to madness, rebellion, anger, and loss of normal temperament, thus it is called "hateful wine." (Ibid.) [Note: This takes meaning from Ling Shu: Lun Yong Pian, changing "wine rebellion" to "hateful wine."]
The nature of wine is toxic and extremely hot. Excessive consumption causes heat and toxicity to seep into the meridians and soak into the Zang-Fu organs, generating various diseases. Some present with irritability, high fever resembling Taiyang disease (Sun Yang Bing); some present with chills resembling Warm Malaria (Wen Nue); some with vomiting and diarrhea discomfort; some with nausea and oppression. The disease manifests according to the deficiency or excess of the Zang-Fu Qi. Since the symptoms are not singular, it is called "various diseases." (Ibid.)
Wine is the liquid of cooked grain; its nature is fierce, urgent, and swift. It enters after food and exits before food, capable of penetrating joints and traversing the skin and interstices. In ancient times, decoctions and fermented beverages were made but not used. Later generations indulged without restraint, or drank excessively, causing stagnation in the stomach, dispersion through the meridians, steaming of the Zang-Fu organs, mental confusion, unconsciousness, sometimes lasting days without awareness. Severe cases lead to poisoning, becoming Jaundice due to Wine (Jiu Dan) and other heat diseases. (Sheng Ji Zong Lu)
Mild cases manifest as headache, dizziness, vomiting of phlegm and rebellious Qi, mental dullness and irritability, chest fullness, nausea, reduced appetite, and difficult urination. Severe cases involve sudden shivering, cold extremities, and unconsciousness after heavy drunkenness, named "Alcohol Jue" (Jiu Jue). (Hui Bu) [Note: Jiu Jue is seen in Sui Luo Lu, cited later, and should be cross-referenced with the Jue Zheng category.]
People who enjoy drinking accumulate damp-heat internally, generating phlegm and stirring fire, often developing facial paralysis (mouth and eye deviation), stiff tongue, and limb disability, resembling Wind attacking the blood vessels. Treatment should focus on resolving alcohol, removing dampness, eliminating phlegm, and clearing fire; one must not mistakenly treat it with wind-dispelling herbs. (Ibid.)
Young people who indulge in drinking often develop consumptive damage. Wine is a drug of madness, severely damaging True Yin. Moderate drinking may have benefits, but excessive drinking inevitably causes harm, and those addicted suffer nine out of ten times. Human constitution has Yin and Yang, and wine also has Yin and Yang properties. Wine is formed by fermentation, its nature being Hot; its juice transforms from water, its substance being Cold. If a person with Yin Deficiency drinks excessively, the substance cannot nourish Yin, while the nature aids Fire, making Heat worse, leading to hematemesis, epistaxis, hematochezia, hematuria, asthma, cough, restlessness, and madness. This is due to wine damaging Yin. If a person with Yang Deficiency drinks excessively, the nature cannot support Yang, while the substance remains as Water-Dampness, making Cold worse, leading to distension, diarrhea, abdominal pain, acid regurgitation, poor appetite, and sudden collapse of Yang. This is due to wine damaging Yang. Thus, indulging in wine damages both Yin and Yang. The harm is so great; do people truly understand? Moreover, wine confuses nature, often leading to reckless behavior, exhausting Essence and Qi, losing opportunity, and succumbing to illness. Yin is damaged, yet rarely noticed. During indulgence, one does not consider these harms; only when critically ill does one realize the extent of being trapped by wine. I detail this here as a warning for those who indulge. (Jing Yue Quan Shu) [Note: Wine damaging Yin originates from Li Dongyuan; Hot Qi and Damp Substance originate from Liu Yao. Both are cited in the treatment examples.]
Wine contains Heat and Dampness, both sufficient to cause harm based on one's original Qi. Those with deficient and Cold original Qi are not troubled by Heat but by Dampness. As Dampness accumulates daily, Yang Spirit declines. Once it moves with Water, Yin Evil erupts, causing obstruction, pain, vomiting, and rebellion, worsening above and below. The method should urgently expel Yin to restore Yang. Those with robust True Yang are not troubled by Dampness but by Heat. Heat lingering in the posterior orifice causes bloody stool and hemorrhoids; Heat lingering in the anterior orifice causes various Gan sores of the penis. The method should separate Heat and clear Toxicity. (Shu Shi Shang Han Lun Ji Zhu)
[Alcohol Entering Zang-Fu] Using wine as water is warned against in Su Wen; the rebellion of the timid after drinking is criticized in Ling Shu. Zhu Danxi established theories on strong wine and cold drinks, recording Ge Hua Jie Cheng Tang as a good medicine for drinkers. If illness deepens over time and complications arise, it is hard to trace the source. Alas! How can we not discuss this? People who love wine initially affect specific Zang organs. Based on my post-drinking states: affecting Lung leads to excessive talking and sneezing; affecting Heart leads to excessive laughing and forgetting; affecting Liver leads to anger; affecting Spleen leads to sleepiness; affecting Kidney leads to lust. Excessive talking damages Lung, later changing to cough and Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst); excessive laughing damages Heart, later changing to palpitations and insomnia; excessive sleeping damages Spleen, later changing to fullness, jaundice, and distension; anger damages Liver, later changing to hypochondriac pain and hematemesis; lust damages Kidney, later changing to lower back pain and spinal softness. After transformation, one cannot treat only the wine, nor completely forget it. Wine harms with Dampness and Heat; the toxicity of Damp-Heat remains permanent, unlike other diseases with varying Six Evils, Seven Emotions, and meridian transmissions. Therefore, treatment must combine herbs for the affected Zang with those that remove Damp-Heat. Ge Hua Jie Cheng Tang is only for early-stage drinkers, as wine first enters the Stomach, using herbs to digest food, regulate stagnation, and drain dampness from above and below. Using it generally for post-transformation symptoms is not Danxi's intent. My theory of "Five Entrances" is merely general. Additionally, sweating after drinking affects Stomach; bluish face affects Gallbladder; frequent urination affects Small Intestine and Bladder; dysentery after drinking affects Large Intestine. Rarely is there no disease. Only when Stomach, Small Intestine, and Bladder are affected, sweat disperses from the surface, and urine removes from the bowels, allowing longevity even with heavy drinking. The ancients' "Immortals of Wine" likely refer to this. The proverb saying wine has a separate intestine is false. (Yi Yi Shang)
[Treatment Principles] Wine is extremely hot and toxic, with Yang Qi and flavor, belonging to formless substances. If injured, one should only disperse via sweating; second best is promoting urination. These two methods drain dampness from above and below. Current patients often take hot pills or purge with Qian Niu and Da Huang. This treats formless Yuan Qi disease by purging formless Yin Blood, a grave error. Wine's extreme heat damages Yuan Qi; further purging damages Kidney Water, causing deficiency of True Yin and formless Yin Blood. Thus, Yin Blood becomes more deficient, True Water weaker, Yang Toxic Heat flares, increasing Yin Fire, consuming Yuan Qi, shortening life, or forming consumptive disease. Purging Jaundice due to Wine eventually turns it into Black Jaundice; strictly avoid this. (Bian Huo says: better to drain dampness from above and below). Use Ge Hua Jie Cheng Tang as the main formula. (Pi Wei Lun) [Note: Yi Xue Wei Yi comments slightly, but the language is unclear, so not recorded.]
Note: Wine is Hot in Qi and Damp in Substance. Drunkenness and madness are due to Heat; use sweating to remove it. After waking, Heat is gone but Damp remains; promote urination to resolve it. Choose between these two methods appropriately; generally, Ge Hua Jie Cheng Tang is sufficient. (Liu Yao)
For alcohol injury with nausea, vomiting old wine, dizziness, headache like splitting, use Chong He Tang (Shen Su Yin plus Mu Xiang), Ban Xia Fu Ling Tang, or Li Zhong Tang plus Gan Ge (7 fen), or Fu Zi Li Zhong Tang combined with Suo Pi Yin. For alcohol thirst, use Suo Pi Tang or Gan Ge Decoction mixed with Wu Ling San. Long-term alcohol abuse leads to Alcohol Accumulation (Jiu Ji) with abdominal pain and diarrhea, or gray wine causes similar issues; all should use Jiu Zhu Huang Lian Wan. Heavy drinking forms Alcohol Mass (Jiu Pi) with abdominal lumps moving with Qi; use Chong He Tang plus Peng Zhu (0.5 qian). Alcohol-phlegm-fluid retention in chest/diaphragm: use Zhi Shi Ban Xia Tang (Zhi Shi, Ban Xia) plus Shen Qu, Mai Fu (0.5 qian each), or Chong He Tang plus Ban Xia (1 qian), Fu Ling (0.7 qian). (Yao Jue)
Middle-alcohol belongs to Stomach weakness. Avoid Qi-stagnating, ascending, sweet-warm, drying-hot, and astringent herbs. Use Stomach-nourishing, sour, acrid-dispersing, and light-leaching herbs. (Ben Cao Jing Jiu Shu)

[Regulation Method] Wine can cultivate temperament and unblock blood vessels, but attracts wind, damages Kidneys, rots intestines, and corrupts ribs, none worse than this. Especially avoid after full meals. Do not drink roughly or quickly, lest you damage the Lung, the canopy of the Five Zang, which must not be harmed. When thirsty after drinking before sobering up, do not drink water or tea, as wine often carries toxins into Kidneys, becoming stagnant toxic water, causing heavy/heavy waist and legs, cold painful Bladder, edema, Xiao Ke, and spasms.
