And I'm going to start drinking less. Starting tomorrow.
Well, I'll start mixing vodka with an alkaline drink like grape juice. And everything should be fine.

My friend on the weekend got really bad heartburn and mentioned his drinking habits, and I didn't know alcohol caused heartburn. Is that you Jimmy?

Both really. In the past I have been more healthy, but the last 3 months or so its been a solid 6 - 12 drinks a day average.
I used to get bad heartburn drinking vodka water, but now I usually use Tang if there is nothing for mix.

Uh, grape juice is very acidic. You won't be fine.

OP, as others have mentioned, grape juice is very acidic, and is not going help at all with the heartburn.
Chronic heartburn can cause serious inflammation in the esophagus and digestive tract, and inflammation can lead to all kinds of disease.
If you are not able to quit drinking at this time, then perhaps you can start making some changes to your diet to help ease the heartburn.
I think you know that 6-12 drinks a day is not a sustainable way of life, though, so I hope you look to your alcohol problem as well.

I see your point yogabunny, but that response did have a way of drilling his point in. It perfectly summed up OPs mindset by taking the theory to the endgame.
Anyway, OP, you obviously want to do something about it, so ACT NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

Every single person who comes to this forum deserves to be treated with compassion, respect and dignity. Advice can and should be given without condescending or judging a person for their illness, addictions, ideas, or the decisions they make to treat/heal.
The P&MWB community needs to understand that not everyone who comes in here is wanting to approach health from an alternative/holistic point of view; and we need to respect that everyone is on their own journey and path. It's one thing to offer a personal experience, it's quite another to advocate that there's only one way to heal and it's the way YOU do it.
The whole my way is better than your way, my drug is better than your drug crap is not going to be tolerated here anymore.
P&MWB is a harm reduction/support forum. Not a place for people to find test subjects to try and diagnose and treat.
OP - I commend you for taking ANY steps to change. You know you have a problem. It's a good first step. If you want any diet recommendations, let me know. I healed my heartburn completely through changing my diet.....

The fourteen day heartburn treatments work okay for a while.

Hey, I'm trying to get more healthy, but I do notice the heartburn more than anything else.
I started to do some outdoor exercising almost everyday this week, but I still am getting bad heartburn. Especially after a 6 or better vodka drinks.
