Those who don't normally snore may find they do after drinking alcohol. Drinking relaxes the body, which causes the muscles in the throat to relax and block the breathing passageways. If one already snores on a regular basis, he or she may find the snoring is louder and more persistent after a night out. If you do drink, try to stop at least four hours before going to bed.
