10 Causes of Snoring
Cause #6: Alcohol
If you have friends or family who drink heavily, you may have noticed that there is a correlation between a person’s alcohol consumption and the likelihood that they will snore. This isn’t a coincidence.
Alcohol is known for being a depressant. Depressants are known for relaxing the nervous system and the muscles in our body, and the muscles at the back of the throat are no exception. For this reason, when people have drank too much, the resulting relaxation may obstruct the airways and thus lead to snoring.
