(once I opened my mouth to eat something and squirted my hand). But the wine/balloon thing is a totally different feeling, and I’m convinced it’s not the same thing. It’s a sharper feeling, not as “achy” as the saliva business. ---

I get this sometimes when I drink soda’s. Has anyone else ever felt a pain in the middle of the back of their neck when drinking that first glass of alchohol? Specifcally I get it with the first long island I have. It goes away after a few minutes, but it happens nearly every time I drink a long island iced tea.
