Heartburn and Drinking Alcohol
Posted on 9/12/14 at 3:01 pm

I've developed bad heartburn over the past couple of years and I know it's because of my drinking (love Jack Daniels) and eating late at night...I really need to take it more serious. What would be a better alcoholic beverage to drink that may not be so tough on GERD?
let's not make this into a "you're an alcoholic" or "here's why I'm not" thread

It's not the drinking. It's the eating late at night. Cut that out first and report back.

Start taking some Prilosec OTC for a month. Cut out the late meals. If no better after a month tell your primary care md who may want you so see a GI md

I take all the heartburn medicines known to man, even had some prescription stuff, none of it really works if I drank and ate late the prior night...also need to cut out the coffee.

Sounds like every Saturday night for me. Especially drinking Bushmills shots.
Party on.

Well depending on what they saw there may be surgical options such as a lap nissen. I'd work on cutting back alcohol, caffeine, late meals etc before surgery personally

Maybe not exactly the same, but I used to get bad indigestion after drinking decent quantities of liquor. I slowly moved more and more to beer. Now I only drink beer and never have a problem with it.
It has nothing to do with the amount of alcohol because some of my drunkest days/nights have been on just beer and no indigestion. Whereas, my chest and stomach would feel miserable on like 3 or 4 small bourbon drinks and barely a buzz.
I don't really miss the liquor though. Love me some good craft beer these days.

Dark liquor gives me heartburn too, but only if I drink it multiple nights in a row. Beer during the week and Jack on the weekends would probably help.Or just switch to beer completely.
Cutting out fast food also does wonders.

Try gin and sleep sort of propped up a little on a pile of pillows rather than flat. I just saw something on this on Facebook recently. Best sleeping positions were stomach and side as I recall. Stop eating late.

Changing your diet is probably your best bet.

I've been getting it lately too. I actually had to go home from a night out the other day because everything was absolutely burning me to drink.
I definitely don't recommend white wine

My doctor knows I like to drink, so he told me I could take a Prilosec every day as a heartburn preventative. I actually use the cheaper Equate version and I NEVER have heartburn anymore.

I've also found downing a Prilosec with a bottle of water before bed seemed to help some, if I can remember to do it every night.

I used Zantac and Tagamet and such for a while, with mixed results. Prilosec, though, worked really well for me.
Also, don't drink on an empty stomach. That will ruin me for a few days
