My lips and the top of the tongue is numb from alcohol, should i be concerned?

Numb tongue and lips: Numbness of any kind is not normal. You should check with your doctor, but i would assume this is a warning sign that you shouldn't drink alcohol. Or at least, you should not drink that particular type of alcohol.
