can drinking an ounce of vinegar a day harm you?

I have been drinking an ounce of vinegar a day for almost a week. When I told a friend, she told me that she heard it would burn the lining of your stomach.It seemed a little far-fetched to me because there is strong acid in your stomach. I still would like to know though if there are health risks involved.

    lupe, the girl,

    Drinking an ounce of vinegar a day, apple cider vinegar is usually the vinegar of choice, is advantageous for the body as this vinegar has many healthful properties, including high potassium and an alkaline-forming effect upon the body. This is good because high acid in the body can create an unbalanced body chemistry. Similar to acidic lemons, apple cider vinegar is an acidic substance that alkalizes the body and drinking it regularly can help to detoxify the body, suppress hunger, stabilize blood sugar and ultimately accelerate weight loss. There are many different methods which incorporate different doses according to the aim of the diet. You would be advised to consult your dietician or health advisor for details relating to your reason for it's use.
