From what I've witnessed and experienced, any white oral spots are either:

Bacterial (strep)

Fungal (yeast/thrush)

Viral (canker sores/herpes).

While having white spots on your tongue after drinking alcohol may be just a coincidence, it's also a possibility that alcohol can potentially offset the balance of bacteria naturally occurring in the mouth... Improper oral hygiene, dehydration, illness and certain foods can also result in a whitish colored tongue. So if your 'licker' is looking a little sicker I'd get to the doc. But chances are if they aren't any discomfort to you, a good tooth/tongue brushing followed by a swish of mouth wash and a large glass of water should do the trick.

hugsSs and good luck with that ;)

Why do you have black marks on both sides of your tongue close to your tonsils?

Black marks on the sides of the tongue near the tonsils can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor oral hygiene, smoking, or certain medications. They may also result from a condition known as black hairy tongue, where the filiform papillae become elongated and discolored. If the marks persist or are accompanied by other symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

How do you get the white water marks from your wood furniture?

The white marks are truly water marks-t here is a small amount of water down in the finish. Use a few drops of denatured alcohol (TEST in an inconspicuous place on the furniture first!) Spread the few drops of alcohol over the spot, let set for a few minutes- water marks should go away- wipe surface with a lint free cloth. Do NOT use rubbing alcohol, get denatured alcohol from the paint shop. You may need to do this a few times. The alcohol is pulling the water out of the finish.
