[QUOTE="IanS, post: 107446, member: 22487"] Most acidic substances are imbibed as aqueous solutions, such as the various examples that you gave. Unless aspirin is taken in solution, it is usually taken as a tablet, which then sits next to the stomach wall. Now the stomach already contains a very strong acid solution. So strong in fact that it continuously disolves the stomach wall. Fortunately, it continuously renews itself. It would seem that the problem with aspirin is not actually its acidic qualities that result in holes in the stomach wall, but the fact that it causes ulcers in the wall or even local bleeding. These ulcerated spots are less able to renew themselves, hence in some people the wall can be breached. Aspirin can also irreversably exacerbate tinitus if you have a tendency towards it.
