Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,128 | I tried some beer and some wine and they *burned* back of tongue and throat -- The least burning came from a sweet white wine, but it was still there. I still don't taste sweet or sugar, but I do feel the effects (as in the wine) -- If I put sugar in coffee, I can't taste it but the coffee will be less bitter.
