Why does alcohol burn your throat?

Does your throat ever get used to the burn of alcohol?

  • Answer:

    A shot of whiskey shocks the throat. A splash of aftershave stings the face. Alcohol makes certain pain-generating nerves trigger more easily than normal. In some cases, it tricks the nerves into behaving as if they are exposed to extreme heat.
