So I use to have a pretty severe drinking problem in my late teens and early twenties up until I was about 25 when I decided enough was enough and to slow down majorly on the drinking. Drink of choice has always been straight vodka, would wake up and have a cup or so and start my day.
Now I'm almost 30 and anytime I drink which is about once a week or less I wake up the next day and have problems eating. It feels like GERD almost, but when I swallow anything even water I get a pain in my chest mostly on my left side and my throat feels like there's a bunch of acid burning it or something. I'm almost 100% sure it's alcohol related. Has anyone else had a similar issue after a few years of heavy drinking? and if so how do you combat this other than just cutting out the alcohol completely, because I still like to go out with friends once a week or so and have quite a few drinks.
