How do you fight heartburn while drinking?

Asked by Aethelflaed (13752points) December 29th, 2011

The past couple of months, drinking has been brutal for my heartburn. Tums don’t seem to help much (or rather, they help right when I take them, but then if I take another sip, it’s back). Red wine, white wine, beer, rum, tequila – all of them. I don’t have the same problem with non-alcoholic drinks.

I do have Prilosec, but it takes several hours to kick in, and I don’t take it every night because it’s so expensive.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Pro-tips? General musings that may or may not be related?
