A member asked:

Is it ok to have 1-2 shots of whiskey a month while on daily lansoprazole for hiatus hernia and gerd?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is ok: limited alcohol use will probably be ok. as long as it is not worsening your GERD symptoms. At your age you may want to consider GERD surgery as a long term cure for this problem
