How can I drink alcohol with Gerd/Acid Reflux?

I have been diagnosed with GERD and I rarely drink. But tomorrow is a big party and I would like to drink. I won’t drink anymore then probably 5-6 beers, I am a light weight. I’ve drank in the past and I woke up in the middle of the night with horrible stomach pain, but it passes. Can I take a Ranitidine ( A.K.A. Zantac) will that help? Please help

My boyfriend has the same problem except he drinks hard liquor. sometimes the ranitidine helps and sometimes it doesn’t. I would strongly suggest you don’t drink at all OR limit your beers to 1/2 of what you usually drink. Make sure you take 2 pills and maybe take it early to get it in your system (at least an hour before you start). Happy partying!
