Throat burns after alcohol consumption

[brianpugh]

Hi,



I'm an "occasional drinker" (average about once per month) but when I do drink it's usually excessive (15 - 20 units or more)

I've found over the last few years that after drinking I get a burning sensation in my throat and upper intestinal tract.

It lasts for several days so it's not a simple reaction (like to spicy food) and is not improved by the use of antacids so I don't believe it's simple heartburn. At first I believed it was only when I drank lager and / or cider but I get it with spirits now too.

It literally feels like I've damaged the skin / lining...



Any ideas if it's something I should be concerned about?



Please Help.



Thanks,
