Acid reflux in the middle of the night after drinking alcohol is mainly considered to be related to alcohol stimulation, reflux disease, etc., and can usually be relieved by dietary modification, medication and other ways.

Alcohol stimulation: If you drink too much alcohol, alcohol will cause some stimulation to the gastrointestinal mucosa, which can prompt the secretion of gastric acid and then the symptoms of acid reflux. You can eat some alkaline food to neutralize, such as soda crackers, milk, rice porridge, etc. You can also use acid-suppressing drugs such as proton pump inhibitor lansoprazole and omeprazole.
2. Reflux disease: If the patient himself has reflux gastritis, reflux esophagitis and other diseases, under the stimulation of alcohol, it can induce the disease and trigger acid reflux, which can be treated with drugs such as aluminum hydroxide, mosapride, omeprazole and so on.
