You realize the things we do leading up to the problem is how we trouble shoot problems right?
Thanks everyone, this happens to me when I go without food and I drink energy drinks. This information however is useless to this guy lol.

I've been having this problem for a few years now. Unfortunately, I was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. When I mentioned to the consultant about the lock jaw when drinking alcohol, he told me it was an MS symptom. It might be worth asking for an MRI scan.

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one this happens to! Excruciating pain in my masseter muscle of my jaw after drinking wine mostly. Once in a while it will happen with other alcohols as well but mostly wine. What gives me instant relief is chewing. Hard. Like when chewing on gum. In a pinch I'll chew on a straw. Instant relief!! Pain is completely gone within just a few min. I would love to know what causes this and why does only flare up with alcohol. When I describe it to anyone including my dr I only get crazy looks and shoulder shrugs. I'm just thankful it doesn't affect my life in any other way.

Hey all, I've had the same problem for as long as I can remember. Six years ago, my right submandibular gland swelled up and I had to go to the emergency room.
The doctor suspected my parotid duct was blocked by calcium buildup (like gallbladder stones). I was put under a local anesthetic and he enlarged the opening of my parotid duct just under the tongue, he thought whatever as causing the swelling was working its way close to the opening. Sure enough, he could see a small "stone" but could not take it out, it was still too far in. He closed up the incision but left he the opening a little larger to allow the "stone" to pass. A week later, I had a nagging pain under my tongue and the stone came out! It looked like a grain of grit (the breakfast food).
Since then, the pain in my jaw when drinking beer is a lot less and usually passes after the first glass. It's quite bearable now and just something I've learned to deal with. You'd think someone would've done a study on this by now with the number of people affected.

For anyone who experiences this and still notices it, a large dose of vitaman c will cure it. Emergen C works fine, at least in my case

This is happening to me now, I have been getting this usually when I eat Chinese food and drinks, I have noticed it on the way home from Chiniese restaurants when I have had a drink for a while. Today I ate ramen shortly after drinking and I noticed the pain - It lessens if I chew on something else. Could it be a combination of msg and alcohol?

HAS ANYONE HERE HAD THEIR WISDOM TEETH REMOVED? I have not and I have this symptom. Wondering if they're are related.

All, I have had the same thing for years. Knowing I enjoy having a couple beers a night and drinks with friends on the weekend. The pain has been daily and a struggle for years. However, after reading numerous posts there is hope. Someone posted that this is a caused by a Magnesium deficiency. I have been taking a Magnesium supplement for 10 days now. The pay is all but gone. I am loving life!!

YES - totally what I experience. Only happens when drinking frozen margaritas (2+), at a restaurant, during happy hour (cheap tequila). I suffer from food intolerances so I wonder if that contributes to it. I airways thought everyone had this same problem but my husband has no clue what I'm talking about.
