What Causes An Unusual Taste In Anything I Drink?
Starting this morning everything I drink has tasted like an alcoholic beverage. It has been a long time since I have drank any alcoholic beverages. Any idea why this may be happening? I am on no medications and have not recently change my diet in any way.

Hello,
Recent changes in taste sensation can most of the time caused by a viral infection. Normally, this should start to get better in the next few days. No specific treatment is needed.
If you notice no improvement in a week or you notice any worsening, please see your doctor.
I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
