Why do i get a sore throat the day after drinking wine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drinking alcohol....: ...Relaxes the muscles of the throat and increases snoring. It may put you to sleep, but the quality of sleep is often worse. You are likely snoring more, sleeping with your mouth open, and drying out the mucus membranes of your throat, thus causing irritation.
