Alcohol inhibits the secretion of ADH(Anti Diuretic Hormone) so the kidneys produce more urine and the body becomes dehydrated!

Hello,
It is common to experience dryness after drinking alcohol .Dryness can further lead to infections and making a person prone for sore throats. If you drink it at bedtime it dries the throat and intensifies the discomfort. One should avoid alcohol if suffering from a sore throat. Intake of copious amounts of alcohol can inflame the sensitive membranes within the throat. It is best to avoid it. Visit an ENT specialist for more queries and concerns. Keep me posted.
Best luck and regards!
