Why does alcohol burn your throat?

Is it possible for alcohol to burn your throat, and for it to feel like you have strep?

  • Answer:

    Alcohol begins its journey in the mouth and throat. As it passes through the mouth and throat, it produces a burning sensation. This warm, burning sensation is caused by alcohol's irritation of the lining of the mouth and throat.
