Throat hurts following alchohol consumption?

Question

I'm not a heavy drinker, but drink occasionally. I would go for the Bacardi.

However, I have one problem. No matter how little or how much I drink high concentrated drinks (40%-75%), even if I mix it with something else: e.g., rum and coke, I get a sore throat after.

I had a case that got so bad that I had to avoid talking to other people for 14 days because my throat hurt every time I opened it, spoke, or swallowed.

How do I avoid such problems? I want to drink without worries.

Answer 1

It sounds like you aren't used to drinking hard rum.  I've had two friends who both got an infections from taking too many shots.   On the other hand I use 151 to get rid of colds.  

IMO, I think the alcohol is is just irritating your throat.

Answer 2

That's like, a duh answer. if your throat hurts after u drink alchahol then don't drink alchahol unless you want a sore throat.  or go see a doctor and see if you are allergic to certain kinds of alchahol or all alchahol so you know what you can and can't drink...

Answer 3

Quit Drinking - you know there are people who are allergic to alcohol.

Answer 4

It sounds like you are allergic to something- the mix, alcohol, not sure.  You should start writing down all of the information to figure out- then perhaps take it to your doctor!
