My Teeth Hurt

According to the health newsletter put out by Consumer Reports, drinking wine in excess or holding it in the mouth for long periods of time can soften tooth enamel. You should drink wine with meals, when saliva helps wash your teeth, or drink in moderation. And, here's the part that will make your skin crawl: don't ever, ever, brush your teeth right after you drink wine, because you could be scraping off the softened enamel. Sweet dreams. (shudder)
