How To Treat Heart Burn Permanently?

I have never had heartburn, now for the last few days it keeps coming back unless I take Zantac which makes it go away for a while but it seems to eventually come back. First night it woke me up was after i drank quite a bit about a week ago and sense then it has kept coming back. Today was the worst because I woke up with it and it was constant until i took Zantac. That lasted most of day till night it started again. I am 23 non smoker.
