    Yes, and yes.  And, you need to immediately change your habits.  Drinking, especially at night is bad, and eating late is also not good at all.  I have a relative who had silent reflux, likely for years that damaged his esophagus, and this makes him more likely to possibly get cancer of the esophagus.   Eat light, no alcohol, and take something to get this acid under control.
