Gin and Water

So my drink of choice has been wine over the last year or so. I also happen to have GERD/acid reflux issues. When I drink wine on a daily basis the symptoms get really bad, but when I stop for weeks at a time they pretty much go away. I looked up what types of alcohol are best and worst for what I’ve been experiencing. What I found is wine is the worst, and gin is the best. I happen to love gin, and that’s what I steer towards when I order a cocktail. I tried mixing it with soda, and it burned badly going down. So I tried mixing it with still water, and no burn! It’s actually nice to be able to taste the botanicals. I threw in a slice of cucumber, and I’m pretty much in heaven. I’m wondering though whether this is a super odd drink to order in a bar. I’ve never heard of anyone drinking gin and water, but does anyone else drink it this way?
