I have a glass of wine (with a water back since it burns a little) and a beer every now and again. I wasn't a huge drinker ever. Beer and wine on weekends and I had a phase with shots sometimes but not in over 10 years. I quit social smoking in 2001. In college I def drank on weekends and smoked socially. I lived in New Orleans. I don't know if the brief period I did smoke caused this. My Drs. dont' think so. I had a small denture on a back molar that I had while i was waiting to be able to afford implants. It did rub against my tongue and it was on the side of the cancer. Who knows.. I'll never really know.

I think the occassional adult beverage is probably OK. I haven't really tried hard alchohol as I think it might really burn. Certain toothpastes really burn me and some spices are just unbareable. I avoid all of these things... and to be ohonest I've kind of lost my taste for alchohol.

With having cancer and going through all the treatments I felt liek crap for about 2 years so being hungover has zip appeal to me.
