Here’s my story:

I’m in college and I want to be able to go to parties and play drinking games and drink beer with my friends. However, after one or two beers, I start to feel it in my stomach. I currently take 30mg of Prevacid every morning, but that doesn’t help with the alcohol at night.

I’ve never tried drinking more than a bit of vodka, so I don’t know if that has the same effect on me.

Is there anything that people think I can do to help so I can go out and party with my friends?

All help is greatly appreciated, thank you

I find beer is worse than mixed drinks for that. Just bring a pre-mixed jug of your favorite drink – that is what I always did.

Alcohol can definitely set off reflux.
One test: does a shot of tequila get you worse than beer?

Try taking some Prevacid or similar drug at least a half hour before your first drink (no eating or drinking in between) and see if it is any better.

Its a deep burn in my stomach. It kinda feels like a combination of pressure and acid. It almost feels as if I’ve downed acid and it’s just sitting in my stomach. I’ve been told that it’s from not eating before I drink, but I do eat. I’ve eaten entire meals before drinking and it doesn’t help. It lasts for about fifteen to thirty minutes and it hurts. I’ve ended up doubled over in pain before from it. The only thing that I’ve found that helps is if I eat graham crackers when I start feeling the burn and if I stop drinking. If I continue to drink after it goes away then I have to continue to eat graham crackers or the burn will come back. Most of the time I end up breathing out heavily from my mouth as if I can almost breathe it out but it doesn’t help.

I have no idea what it is. I’ve been told that it’s a burn from carbonation, but I’ve gotten it from un-carbonated drinks. I’ve been told it’s acid reflux, but I don’t think it is since I’ve taken tums and other antacids while I have the burn and it doesn’t help (even an excessive amount of antacids). I’m also a smoker, but I get it whether or not I smoke while drinking. I even got the burn before I started smoking.

What is it? I’ve only ever met one other person who had the same problem and she doesn’t know what it is either.
Also, I don’t believe it’s an ulcer, since I can drink liters of pop/soda and never feel the burn. It’s only with alcohol.
I do, also, sometimes get the same feeling when I do not get enough sleep. Even six hours of sleep gives me the same feeling. I have noticed that I do tend to get the pain more often in the morning if I drink pop/soda the night before.
Also, I don’t drink a lot. It’s hardly twice a month at most. On the flipside, I have had times where I’ve drank quite a lot over weeks and the feeling never got better. Like I’ve never “gotten used” to it.

help me pleasee
i have a 13 hr shift tomorrow and i really dont want to feel like this..its so uncomfortable!! any advice to help it go away please!!

However — as many people who suffer from heartburn know — coffee and alcohol can have an adverse effect on their digestive system.

Just one cup of coffee or glass of wine can be the catalyst for hours of acid reflux and heartburn.  Fortunately, there is a way to safely treat these conditions before they happen, so that coffee and alcohol can be consumed without discomfort or harm from reflux.  Prelief is an absolutely safe (the ingredients have long been considered safe by the FDA) product that can be taken just before consuming these drinks, rendering these drinks acid-free. Check out the link below for more info.

If you’re suffering from bouts of acid reflux and heartburn because of coffee and alcohol, or you don’t want to avoid these drinks, try Prelief.  It’s a  harmless acid reducer that’s affordable — especially when compared to antacids and other remedies, which many people avoid for health reasons.

The market is full of remedies for acid reflux.  Most are effective at relieving the burning.  Some — known as proton pump inhibitors (e.g., Prilosec) — completely shut down the acid pumps in the stomach.  Proton-pump inhibitors are often expensive, and long-term effects of using them is unknown.

The most gentle and effective way to stop food-induced acid reflux is to either stop consuming coffee and other trigger foods, or find a way to reduce the acid in these foods.  Prelief does this, rendering your coffee and alcohol drinks safe again.

I’ve gotten crazy drunk before off of vodka as well and I have much less heartburn from mixed drinks. I can’t be allergic to beer because I’ve easily drank 7-8 beers in a night without getting sick. Typically though I’ll drink 2 beers, feel a lot of heartburn and puke.

What kind of alcohol will aggravate my acid reflux the least?

Please no answers saying “you shouldnt drink”. I know I shouldn’t. It’s new years and I don’t care.
