Can alcohol make your tongue swell?!


Question: ive been drinking quite alot (for me) over the last few days and my tongue seems to have got a little bigger, to the point where i can see inprints from my teeth.
Is the swelling and drinking related?

alcohol causes to the mouth

* glossitis (inflammation of the tongue)
* stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth)
* caries (tooth decay)

I don't really know but, good question.

Send me alcohol and I will try it out for you

Yes, it'a alcohol toxins

I drink A LOT and my tongue as never swelled up. I'd say that it's not related unless you were maybe allergic to something in the drinks. However, who knows what they will tell you if you went to see a doctor. I had a friend that went to the doctor and she told her "at her age wine will tend to make her migraines more severe"

NO i dont think it will
my dad drank until the day he died and it never did it to him.
and i know alot of ppl drink and i have never heard of it.
if your on meds look that up it could be that but you want to get that checked out.
