Abstract: Alcohol is the most widely abused psychoactive substance globally, with thirst and xerostomia (dry mouth) being common adverse effects following consumption. This review summarizes the potential mechanisms underlying thirst and dry mouth after alcohol intake, as well as the pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for alleviating these symptoms. Based on relevant literature, the specific mechanisms of post-alcohol thirst and dry mouth require further investigation; the efficacy of alleviating measures varies among individuals, and additional studies are needed to identify effective strategies for relieving these discomforts.
