Alcohol Allergy?
Posted: 04-04-05 16:19pm

Whenever I have even small amounts of any type of alcohol...Wine, beer, vodka, I get a horribly painful headache within ten minutes. My face doesn't really turn red, though my eyes sort of do from the headache... I'm not asian so I don't think its asian flush. Also I never had this problem until I turned 16 which is strange, and I used to love drinking. At least I won't be an alcoholic now...

Am I simply allergic to alcohol? Since my reaction happens to any type of alcohol it can't be something like sulphites in wine that so many people complain of.

Yes, you might be allergic to alchohol. My husband has a slight allergic reaction.

I think I might have a reaction as well. When I drink, I get all hot and my face turns red. People think its just that I am blushing because I am embarassed but I dont know. What do you think?
