I have had acid reflux for 2 weeks and I am now taking Prilosec.
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.

Alcohol is an acid. so none.
Vodka, of course,because it is totally hypoallergenic, and it therefore is less responded to by the Beta nerve receptors which control acid production; thus less acid.
I can be having a day of hell with my acid reflux, I can have 2 drinks and everything disappears, I feel normal again, but during the night I will be woken up, if I am lucky it will let me sleep through the night but the next day it really kicks in.
I believe this GERD thing has to do more with anxiety, since alcohol will reduce your anxiety Once the alcohol affects wears off anxiety returns so does the reflux.
