For dealing with the heat from spicy foods like ABTs, dairy-based drinks are often recommended because they contain casein, a protein that helps neutralize capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their heat. Therefore, a glass of milk or a lassi (a yogurt-based drink from the Indian subcontinent) would work well. Non-alcoholic beer can also help, as can a sugar-sweetened drink, which can help to counteract the sensation of heat. Drinking water isn't as effective because capsaicin is oil-soluble, not water-soluble.
