    One teaspoon of virgin Olive oil. Tastes nasty but works

    Take a Pepcid, Zantac, or Prilosec tablet.

    Best way is to stay away from alcohol.

    because it’s alcohol related, not drinking will really help “avoid future complications”. although some form of treatment may alleviate the discomfort but it will not “get rid” as you say of the reflux… continous heartburn may cause esophagus to erode because of acid. but you can try crackers and strong antacids or stomach coater.. antacid abuse is not good too..

    Why is not drinking not an option? If you’re already having acid reflux, it won’t go away by switching to a different alcoholic drink. All alcohol is extremely high in sugar and that can cause the heartburn. If you ignore the reflux, you can permanently damage your eusophagus, requiring surgery and a synthetic replacement of it. You can also get ulcers from constant reflux and heartburn. Untreated, ulcers can rupture and you risk highly dangerous internal bleeding and damage to other organs or your heart if your stomach lining ulcerates and the stomach acid comes into contact with other organs. You could end up in a preventable life or death situation and emergency surgery to repair the damage if possible. There is No alcohol worth the health risks. Be stronger willed than your urges. Get a grip and find something healthy to spend your money on.
