A member asked:
When you drink a liquid such as alcohol does any of the alcohol go into your vocal cord or larynx area? also what about the trachea and lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shouldn't: The alcohol would go into the larynx,trachea, bronchial tubes or lungs only if it was aspirated-went down the wrong way! This would cause vicious coughing in a normal person but can happen without coughing in an unconscious or very elderly weak or sedated person.
