You don't have to give it up completely, Just in small amounts.

Alcohol only temporarily weakens the stomach. The only alcohol that makes GERD worse is beer, and it doesn't necessarily make it worse, it just gives you bad heartburn. GERD gets worse with age. Also avoid caffeine, tobacco, milk, foods containing peppermint or spearmint, and carbonated beverages, and make sure your on a low-fat diet
hope this helps!!

Talk to your doctor about it. I have GERD and I'm not drinking for a little while because it's been flaring up bad for the last month. After it calms down, I'll indulge again. Just moderate how much you drink and be careful what you eat when you drink and don't lie down for a few hours after you drink.
