Is alcohol consumption associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease?

Shao-hua Chen et al. J Zhejiang Univ Sci B. 2010 Jun.

Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common disorders with an increasing incidence and prevalence. Alcohol consumption may be a risk factor for GERD; however, the relationship remains to be fully elucidated. The results of different studies are diverse and contradictory. Systematic investigations concerning this matter are inappropriate and further well-designed prospective studies are needed to clarify the effect of alcohol on GERD.
