It's not the drinking. It's the eating late at night. Cut that out first and report back.

No, it's both. Probably in addition to his normal southern/Louisiana diet.
If the EGD confirmed GERD and nothing else, then it's worth it to try a few PPI meds until you find one that works for you. There are ALOT of options available right now. I've tried most all of them, and only one works for me. Same with most patients. You just have to find the PPI that works for you, in conjunction with a tweaked diet for best results.
But the alcohol is definitly a factor. And left unchecked, that stomach acid will eventually become more painful and erode your esophagus.
