I only drink maybe once a week, but if I do drink, I usually drink mixed alcohol and soda (not diet) and usually consume quite a bit.  The next day, I wake up and drink lots of water and eat lots of food and drink lots of milk.  Then the second day after drinking my gums get really dry?, and I get canker sores or just sore gums in general that are really dry and swollen.  I brush twice a day am not an avid flosser and its been around 6/7 years since seeing a dentist for cleaning.  The last time I had them cleaned, they had to do peridontal cleaning.The dry mouth and sore gums just started the last two times I went out to drink.  twice over three week period.  I have been this style of drinker for at least 5 years, so Im wondering why it just started causing gum and mouth problems, or if its not related to the alcohol.  Thank you.
