Just wondered if anyone else experiences this:

After a meal where I drink wine (even just half a glass) I find that my
jaw muscles cramp up for 30 minutes or so. I often won't notice it, if I
don't open my mouth (i.e. sitting in a room alone) but if I open my
mouth to yawn I get a sharp (but not overwhelming) pain on either side
of my jaw.

It feels a little like pins & needles, I suppose, on either side of my
face.

Anyone else get this? Any idea what causes it? I'm not worried, just
curious

Agreed - happens about once every 8 meals I guess. Maybe I should ask in
a biology group, not a wine group.

It's caused by contractions in the jaw muscles - too much chewing! It's part
of the TMJ-syndrome (temporomandibular jouint syndrome). I guess you are
rigth, you drink too little AND eat too much -
