What alcohol is the least bad to drink with acid reflux

What alcohol is the least bad to drink for someone who suffers from Acid Reflux/GERD? I know abstaining from alcohol is often recommended but I'm asking for something to drink in social situations where an alcoholic drink is nice.  I know red wine is terrible for me.

You are right that red wine is not good for you. Stick to clear liquids. I would recommend vodka. If you like mixed drinks, then make sure to add something non-acidic, like tonic water or soda. Enjoy and good luck :)

beer.  I have GERD and I can drink 6 beers before I get sick.  Wine is like one glass and I have a lump in my throat, vodka would kill you, anything hard liquer is BAD for GERD.  I was told by my doctor that Blue Moon is good for the Gerd.  He was right.  Just don't let them put the orange peel on the glass
