What Causes Burning Sensation In Oesophagus After Drinking Alcohol?
Every time I take a sip of alcohol, whether it be beer, wine, or liquor, it burns going down my esophagus. Why is that? I've stopped drinking completely because it's such s horrible sensation. I don't normally get heart burn either. It would be nice to enjoy a glass of wine every now and then, so any advice is appreciated!
