Sore throat/Alcohol: I understand your concern Drinking alcohol may contribute to experiencing a sore throat due to following: • Alcohol dries out the throat • Drinking alcohol may cause dehydration • The tongue's base after drinking alcohol is in a position that may interfere with swallowing and cause a sore throat. Discuss this and stresses in your life for use of Alcohol with your Physician
