Is it normal to swish your drinks in your mouth

Every time I drink anything; soda, water, OJ, I have to swish it in my mouth like mouth wash. I feel that I get the full flavor of it and that's why I do it. My friends thinks it's wierd, but to me it seems pretty normal.

    We used to do this with Cointreau, swish it round your mouth and swallow then take a big breath in. Apparently the residue in your mouth releases alcohol fumes which you breathe in and it goes straight in your blood supply.

    Not sure if it was bullshit, but it was a laugh.

    YES! People always stare at me tho... I feel ashamed then. But I cant help it... My throat really hurts if I just have in a big gulp. I do this even with water but, as I said in another post, I drink Coke a lot and I guess I do this to "wash the flavor" of what I'm currently eating just to feel it again. The result? I have kind of bad teeth haha...
    It's even worse when the drink has some kind of solid on it, like milk and chocolate powder or juice with sugar. I feel the urge to CHEW it. What about milkshakes with Oreos...
    yeah i'm really weird I guess.

    A true culinary person would say yes that is how you get the full flavor you should try to be a wine tester

    Doing that is realllllly bad for your teeth. Drinking soda with a straw is the best way to go to avoid cavities and all that other junk. But no this is NOT normal. Kinda gross actually...

    Actually soda doesn't hurt me at all when I do it.

  • Yah, it's normal, I think that's what people do with wine or something, but it hurts when you do it with soda :-:

    Oh ok I see, but the funny thing is that I never noticed myself doing this. And I also have a twin that does this too and I don't remember him doing it till now

    It's just a habit you've developed over time. Maybe you used to have a temp. sensitivity so you needed your drink to warm up, or maybe you burnt some of your tastebuds drinking really hot drinks? It is not common to do this all the time but I wouldn't say abnormal.
