wow paw, what a helpful answer.
According to the Merk Home Medical Journal,
Your pancreas makes acids and enzymes the body uses to break down foods. It then passes these chemicals into the intestines through a valve.
Alcohol can damage the valve, causing these chemicals to remain in the pancreas. Too much of a back-log, and the pancreas itself is damaged.
So, logically, yes, drinking more alcohol is a good way to have another backup.
