There is also a strong clinical link between the excessive consumption of alcohol and head and neck cancers. In fact, while it can increase the susceptibility to contracting these diseases if used in conjunction with tobacco, alcohol can pose a risk in its own right.

Limiting the Damage
- Most importantly, after a night out, you should brush and floss your teeth before going to bed. If you find that you often forget to do this, leave your tooth brush on your pillow before you go out to remind you to spend a couple of minutes brushing.
- While you’re drinking try to swish a mouthful of water around every so often to increase the saliva flow and rinse away sugars and acid in your mouth
- On your way home, chew sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva flow and clear the mouth of harmful sugars and acid.
