Alcohol and Snoring

Did you know that alcohol can make your snoring worse? The reason for this is that the alcohol makes your muscles in the airway relax even more than usual when you are asleep, adding to the turbulence caused. Now, I rarely drink, but when I do my wife will tell that my snoring is at its worst. So on these rare occasions I can expect to poked and prodded through the night in my wife's attempts to stop me from snoring. Except of course, it doesn't work because I sleep through pretty much anything when I have been drinking.
