Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steroids can cause gastric irritation and alcohol and aspirin can exacerbate this effect, leading to worsening of gastric irritation and potentially even ulcer formation. Furthermore, aspirin can also increase the risk of bleeding while on steroids, and alcohol can potentially increase the risk of liver damage. There is no significant effect of alcohol or aspirin on the absorption or metabolism of steroids, and insomnia is not typically associated with these medications.
