Barring any setbacks, the ulcer should heal without much problem if you are a healthy guy. Many, many people have small ulcers and may not even have symptoms. When the ulcer gets to the point where it bleeds, it's a fairly deep ulcer. It bleeds because it has reached the level of tissue where your blood vessels are. Alcohol is a huge culprit to contribute to ulcers forming. It is very irritating to you whole digestive system actually. I'm not a doctor, but once all the ulcers are healed and the irritation to your stomach and small intestine (duodenum is the first part of the small intestine) is gone, you may be able to enjoy a beer or two per night without much difficulty. The issue become mixing beer and smoking and certain foods. The best choice obviously would be to stop drinking, but realistically, you definitely don't want to drink until your doctor clears you and you are finished with your medications.

It was never safe to drink beer in the first place. It is a drug that has many negative effects on the body, as you now know. The ends do not justify the means. There are better drugs and better drugs for you. If all else fails find something else to f*ck yourself up with.

I hope you have been tested for and treated for heliobacter pylori, the bacterium that causes ulcers. Please ask your doctor about that. Pantoloc is a proton pump inhibitor which will decrease acid in your stomach so it cna heal, but will not treat the underlying cause of your ulcers.
I'd hold off on the beer, because alcohol can cause gastritis.

It obviously wasn't safe before. It'll be less safe. I guess you can drink it if you don't want to live.

yes, as long as you get your system under control, eventually you may be able to have the occasional beer.

Sure, what's more, you can drink Bacardi 151 too.
