How do you stop your stomach from burning after drinking alcohol?

Every time I drink alcohol, my stomach is burning. What could be the cause? Should I see a doctor?

Alcohol is a direct irritant to the lining of the the upper GI tract; decrease intake, drink lower concentration/proof alcohol, ingest after meal, take antacid prior to ingestion and see your PCP if symptoms persist.
The alcohol is causing the burning. Maybe your body is telling you something.
