Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
Your problem is most likely alcoholic gastritis.For such condition i usually treat my patients with proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole or pantoperazole for 1 week.You are getting more thirsty due to the dehydration caused by excessive alcohol intake.So take more fluids also.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
