Metabolic alkalosis can be brought about by chronic vomiting.

Here's the step by step explanation:

1. Metabolic alkalosis is a type of acid-base imbalance in the body where the pH of the body's fluids, such as blood, is excessively high. This means there's too much base (alkali) in the body and not enough acid.

2. This can occur due to a loss of acid from the body or an increased intake of base.

3. Chronic vomiting can lead to metabolic alkalosis because when you vomit, you lose stomach acid. Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid, a strong acid. If you lose this acid from your body, the balance of acid and base in your body will shift and become more basic, leading to metabolic alkalosis.

4. Chronic diarrhea, on the other hand, can lead to metabolic acidosis, not alkalosis, because it causes a loss of bicarbonate, a base, from the body.

5. Alcoholism can lead to a variety of metabolic disturbances, but it's not typically associated with metabolic alkalosis.

6. Digestion, in general, doesn't directly cause metabolic alkalosis. However, certain conditions related to digestion, like prolonged vomiting, can lead to it.
