Small patch in the middle of tongue darker than normal has bled once or twice before? only irritated after drinking

Not sure: Without seeing your tongue, it is impossible to say. Go see your dentist to have it evaluated. In the mean time, make sure you brush it well, even if it bleeds...It might bleed out what is causing the problem. Also, rinse with warm salt water or listerine. If you are a smoker, quit now: it might be irritation and staining from smoking.

Dark tongue: The darkness of the tongue may be from the irritation and the bleeding. However, a bleeding tongue after drinking isn't usual. I would see a dentist or an md. To check it out.
