Alcoholsim: There could be several things here. Chronic alcohol intake on the stomach can increase acid production. If you are inhaling some of that acid at night it will cause a cough. Alcohol is very dehydrating and your cough may be caused by that. But, I am happy to hear you ask for help. Would you consider taking a thirty day trial of not drinking to see if you feel better?
