Reasons for the numbness of the tongue the day after drinking wine

If numbness of the tongue occurs the next day after drinking alcohol and the symptoms persist without relief, it is recommended to immediately visit a nearby hospital to improve the head CT or head MRI examination, and patients who are in a position to do so can do the head MRI directly. This situation should be considered whether cerebrovascular disease has occurred. Alcohol consumption is an independent risk factor for cerebrovascular disease, long-term alcohol consumption will damage blood vessels and increase the probability of cerebrovascular disease in patients, and a large amount of alcohol consumption at one time will directly induce the occurrence of cerebrovascular disease, which may be cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage. If it is numbness of the tongue, it is mostly lesions around the brainstem or lesions in the nerve nuclei of the brainstem itself, with lacunar cerebral infarction being more common. CT and MRI examinations, MRI has a greater chance of finding cerebral infarction, and if it is hemorrhage, CT has a greater chance of finding it.
