Red spot on soft palate .. i'm not sure if it's due to a gum disease or due to oral sex or drinking ?

Red spot on palate: The red spot could be caused by any of the things you suggested. Best thing to do would be to visit your dentist if the spot does not disappear within 5-7 days and have the dentist check it out.
