Try something dairy based (sour cream , a small piece of cheese, a tiny sip of milk). That is supposed to help with heat better than water anyways. Drinking while eating can do 2 things according to my doc. 1 it washes the food through quickly and you don't stay full as long. 2 it can cause the food to float up your esophagus. Kind of like a beach ball floating in a swimming pool. I eat spicy foods quite often and just find that having something dairy will calm down the spice quickly without having to drink.
