A method and applicators for preventing or reducing acid reflux (or "GERD") by delivering a proper dose of vinegar directly to the back of the throat without exposing the taste buds, and immediately followed by a shot of water or other pleasant tasting chaser to wash it down. One applicator generally comprises a joined pair of sealed flexible pouches each sealed by a seal that may be burst open on the application of pressure to the pouches in order to dispense the product therein. The first pouch is filled with a dose of undiluted apple cider vinegar (approximately 5 to 10 cc) and the second pouch is filled with a liquid chaser, usually distilled water. Another applicator generally comprises a drinking vessel defined by two side-by-side receptacles, and pair of fixedly attached straws each entering a corresponding receptacle. The straw entering the chaser is oriented at a fixed angle greater than the straw entering the vinegar so that vinegar pours first followed by the chaser. In use, the vessel is lifted to the mouth with both straws disposed at the back of the throat, and the vessel is tilted so that the vinegar receptacle pours first, followed immediately by the chaser. This results in the vinegar pouring directly down the throat without exposing the taste buds, and being immediately followed by the chaser to wash it down.
