How to not have a sore throat after drinking?

[Anonymous]

Had Whiskey and Coke for first time last Sunday and had sore throat till yesterday...6 days of annoying sore throat

Is that common?

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

A lot when I was drinking although I exacerbated since I was a Karaoke fanatic on top. I built a resistance though where I'd need to drink more and more to get my throat sore.

My favorite remedy is grapefruit juice and lemon tea with honey and ginger.

It might help also to cut down on acidic drinks. Cola is pretty acidic (almost on par with vinegar to my understanding). Just alcohol alone tends to be quite an irritant though to the throat.

A coke and whiskey shouldn't cause a sore throat unless you possibly had an allergy to something in the drink or were coming down with a virus and didn't realize it at the time.

Have you considered quitting drinking? Especially if it's doing this to you

I just started mate

I see, I read it as your first whiskey and coke, not your first alcoholic drink. 6 days of sore throat is pretty odd, maybe you're allergic to alcohol or maybe it's unrelated and you got a sore throat from something else.
