Do you not get Bishops Tipple or Tanglefoot? I can manage a small glass of the latter, then it does what the name says. Fraoch I find quite nice - and that is made from heather not hops.
Must be getting old, a nice cold beer at the waters edge watching the sun go down is about the only time I drink it now. Of course I have memories of nights in far off days, kneeling on the dubious carpet in front of the big white telephone hurling like a goodun - then going back out for more. Probably bits of carrot or tomato stuck in my hair - which if one had only thought to call it a 'fascinator' at the time, could have become the height of fashion. I will leave the hurling and hangovers to those who choose to earn them.
On the acid reflux and IBS - sorry, snowy is quite right, you need to rest your tum - they put me on loads of stuff, but now mostly I try to use kaolin, which is just like drinking monkey mud. You will probably get to the stage where you know how much discomfort a thing is going to cost you personaly.
