Man, I so did not even know wine allergies existed.
I had a glass of wine last night—McManis Cabernet Sauvignon to be exact—and not even a whole glass of wine but one of my wimpy half-a-glass deals. And when Simon woke me up at 4 in themorning I thought: I must be coming down with the flu or something. Stuffed nose, itchy eyes, sore throat, and generally feeling as though a steamroller had done its best to flatten me a couple hundred times during the night.
Darin let me sleep in today, and when I was finally conscious I said, Either I am coming down with the worst cold in the world, or there was something about that wine. So I clicked around a bit (the modern answer to every problem!) and discovered wine allergies.
From allergies.about.com:
The common question is “Can I be allergic to alcohol?” Although alcohol can be the culprit, it usually is not. The culprits are usually the additives used in the manufacturing process. Some of the possible culprits include:
Brewers yeast
Corn
Eggs
Grapes
Molds
Sulfites
Pesticides
I am: bereft. It took me a while to prefer red wine over white wine (that is, to become a wine snob). And now this!
I assume that if any of those ingredients could cause this allergy then it’s not necessarily the wine that’s caused this head cold. But it’s not the kind of testing I want to do a lot of, you know?
From time to time after drinking alcohol with sulfites I will develop severe muscle pain in my shoulders neck and upper arms. It feels like a cramp that will not go away. Luckly this only lasts for about 20-30 minutes then it is gone.
Recently, I’ve noticed itchy eyes and stuffy nose after drinking red wine. It could be wine and balsamic vinegar combined. One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is avoiding taking any pain relievers if drinking any type of alcohol. Enteric coated aspirin is usually the only thing I use. I’m not one to get nauseous easily, but have discovered that if I drink just one glass of white wine and should take aspirin, even hours later, I get violently ill. It took a while to discover, as I usually only drink red wines and don’t take aspirin very often.
Wow, Never knew this website existed.
Over the past few years I have not been able to drink Merlot. If I have a glass, or for that matter even a sip, of anything with Merlot in it, I develop Migraine type systems. My partner is a wine salesman and we get all kinds of varietals of wine. A couple of years back I started complaining about the intense headaches I was getting, one in particular was the morning after we had only drank Merlot. A week or so, and several different varietals later, we had some Merlot, and wall-ah, headache. When I was at my doctor’s office (waiting of course) I noticed a sign on the wall that stated that the tannins in wine can trigger migraines or migraine type symptoms, Merlot specifically. I knew this had to be it.
I do remember drinking Merlot in the past with nothing happening, but the body does change, what is it, every 7 years or so? I now have allergies that I never had before.
To this day I don’t drink Merlot, and I do not have any issues with Migraine type headaches.
Here is what I have found over a few years:
Wines to stay away from:
“Red Wineâ€Â-unless marked with merlot
Cab/Sav.-a wine makers trick is to add up to 24% merlot without having to report it. I ask the wine maker, or rep, or look it up online.
Meritage-This is a specific blend with Merlot.
Most Napa-I an not trying to exclude this area, I love it there, but they use a lot of merlot!! Especially the cabs they are so proud of.
Good Wines:
Anything from Bonny Doon-The wine maker can’t stand Merlot and won’t use it!!-
Pinot Noir-You probably won’t ever find anything blended with this
Syrah, or Shiraz-Usually 100% (or maybe with a little Viognier)
Zinfandel-Not the “white†stuff. The true varietal.
Tempernillo, Nebiolo, Sangiovese(Chianti),
Usually anything Spanish, German(hard to find a red), or Italian.
I am also allergic to white wine and Champagne. It took me a while to realise that it was white wine and champagne in particular, and not all alcohol. As i often mixed my drinks, when I was a student. Years later I realised that after even a few sips of champagne,or a glass of white wine, i would develop a headache, followed by nausea, and violent vomitting, and retching that would last for 24 hours, I couldnt even keep down a glass of water. Also I would have such a pounding headache, that I wanted to chop off my own head! Luckily I realised this before my wedding day, and had to toast with sparkling water, while everyone else sipped on champagne. Its always a bit annoying not being able to drink champagne on special occasions.
Occasionaly I have the same reaction with Rose .. especially white Zifandel, but not with grenache rose. Lukily I can drink red wine with no averse reactions, although i sometimes get a really bad pounding headache
the next morning.. but no sickness. I love red wine too much to give it up.. so I guess I will just have to suffer the headaches. I would love to know what it is about white wine that makes me so ill.
I am allergic to white wine and champagne. After a few sips of champagne I develop a thumping headache withing 10 minutes followed by violent vomitting for around 24 hours. With white wine, it takes the symptoms much longer to develop, but the next morning i will have such a terrible headache i would like to chop off my head, and agin violent vomitting and recthing for around 24 hours. I can not even keep down a glass of water. The first time I had champagne i realised I was allergic to it, it took me a while to realise it was the same with white wine as i often mixed my drinks, so it was hard to tell what was making me ill. I have the same reaction with certain rose wines like white zifandel, but not with others, I can also drink red wine, and will usually have a bad headache, but no sickness. I can cope with that as I love red wine, and usually a paracetamol will cure it. But its becomming a bit like russian roulette with the rose.. I would love to know waht it is that is making me ill…
I have never been able to drink wine or wine coolers or Mike’s Hard Lemonade, champagne, etc. After one glass I get an intolerable feeling of pressure on the side of my neck that will not go away until I make myself vomit. Once the offending drink is out of my stomach, I feel fine. The only other time I have had the same neck pressure was right after my gallbladder was removed. I asked the nurse about the pain, and she said it was due to some gasses the doctor put in my stomach to create more room to remove the gallbladder. I wonder if the wine, champagne, etc. produce the same gasses somehow?
Have similar experience to Helen’s. I’m sitting here feeling very sick to my stomach after drinking a tiny glass of White Zinfandel last night. I got a headache, tried Advil then later tried Tylenol. Nothing has helped. This has been building up over time for some strange reason. I’m 52 and used to be able to drink wine easily but over the past 6 months I’ve noticed that I get headaches with White Zin. Went to a wine tasting last weekend and had some very nice Cabernet and Chardonay with no problems. Is it just the cheap wine I buy? I’ve sworn not to touch the stuff again as I feel truly awful!
Embarrasing! Wine makes my bottom itch. I can drink vodka no problem. Beer does not seem to be as bad. Is it the sulfites or is it the yeast?
Glad I found this site I never had a problem in my 40+ years until the last 3 weekends. I have been having an allergic reaction that causes my tongue and base of my mouth to swell enormously. I have been treating it with allergy pills, benadryl, & had to go to the doctor for prednisone pack treatment. In addition, I’ve suddenly had mouth sores, plus at times heartburn, & heart palpatations. I actually missed a few days of work as it was so severe I could not talk. I finally realized the common denominator was drinking even just one glass of red wine, white wine, or champagne. I am trying to understand why my body would suddenly change and react in this way. I do have asthma and allergies to dust and mold. These manifest more of a sinus condition. The wine allergy causes quite different symtoms in me.
Wow! I know that I’m allergic to red wine after reading almost everyone’s stories and symptoms.
I’ve been trying to drink a little red wine every night, for taste and health issues since red wine is supposed to be heart healthy.
Tonight, after drinking 1 glass of inexpensive red wine, my heart started to race. I know alcohol is supposed to slow the heart, so I couldn’t understand the racing. I went to the computer and found this web site.
Also, 3 days ago, I woke up; with swollen eyelids. I went to the eye doctor and we guessed it was new eyeliner but after reading the information, I think it’s the red wine I have been drinking nightly. When
I see the doctor next week, I’m going to tell him about the sulfite connection.
NO MORE RED WINE FOR ME!
I have read through this site and have to say I am amazed at how many of you ask what can I do? Really, the simple answer is Dont Drink Wine! I have drank wine for years as my relaxing beverage of choice,While I am cooking, as cooking is my favorite passtime, usually without problem . I turned 48, and BAM! Hives for 3 months that nothing but steriods would cure. Miserable huge huge huge hives! Did I mention they were huge? Anyway,…..I would give everything up if staying away from the hives was the answer….But have discovered that I can have a white Rum and Coke without hives. Now dont get me wrong, I shall miss my wine…..But I shall not miss the hives! I also discovered people with shellfish allergies and such are more apt to be allergic to wine sulfites. Bingo! …Happiness and peace…Just say NO to wine! ;0)
canot believe that so many people have sympomes like me. have drank wine red or white for many years with no side effects then suddenly last year my face started to flare up and all down my kneck my breathing was very bad and had to take a antihistamine tablet. What i dont understand is that it doesnt happen all the time. i drank some wine last nite-fine-had the ramains tonite and my face has flared up and my breathing is bad. is it connected to what ive had to eat?
please can anyone give an answer to the problem that why it doesnt happen all the time to me. during this message i have sneeezed more than a dozen times and my nose is streeming i cant believe it that im drinking the same wine as yesterday and had no ffects. but this is not uncommon as some days i can dink any wine with no effect then the next day or week i hav this reaction i dont understand why this dont happen all the time and not just now and again as im never sure when its gonna start
Many people of asian decent have “allergies” to alcohol. This is because many asian countries drank tea instead of alcohol in the old days when you couldn’t drink just water. Through time, the ability to break down one of the metabolytes was lost (alcohol breaks down to acetaldehyde through alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde goes to acetic acid through aldehyde dehydrogenase…many asians lack the aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme). Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about this.
I’ve been staying away from all wines for the last few years (I’m only 27) since I had two very bad reactions to red wine. I’d heard about allergies, and assumed my reaction could be chalked up to that, but the vast majority of posted allergic reactions didn’t include diarreah. I only saw a couple of postings on that. I also have to watch out when consuming rich foods; however, the first incident occurred after drinking only wine (Moldovian), whereas the second occurred after consuming Italian food and red wine. If I have to drink wine now, I never finish even half a glass, and always stay away from rich, heavy sauces for fear of being sick. It’s not fun to have to worry about getting sick on wine, especially when travelling overseas.
I’m not Asian, so it’s not a genetic disposition…
I have an allergy to ALL alcohol, not just wine. My nose flares up and my sinuses become completely clogged. I have polyups in my nose and I can’t smell (or taste). Drinking any alcohol plugs me up even more. I don’t have any other reactions like hives or breathing problems when I drink. It’s just the nose.
I was completely fine until I turned 33. No allergies, or other problems.
Anyone else with this?
Four years ago when I drank more than a couple of glasses of wine I had a slight tingling sensation in my fingers. A year later this progressed to my toes. The Doctor took looooads of blood to test for many illnesses. I was given a clean bill of health. The tingling progressed to aching hands and feet which travelled up my elbows and knees. The aches are repetitive intense spasms lasting from seconds to ten minutes. After a few days of no alcohol the pains subside and disappear, I feel great but my husbands glass of red is so tempting…must be strong as now it only takes a few sips and symptons start immediately. I have allergies to shellfish too, which developed in my teens. I am 47. Does anyone else get these symptons?
I have been allergic to alchohol for about 35 years. Red wine sits better with me, then whie. My allergic reaction does not occur all the time, but that may be because I take a Bendadrly before drinking. Or if I don’t have a benadrly I stop drinking as soon as the flusing starts. When I was younger I would get a rash all over my body, because I would not stop drinking at the first signs. I even have scars on my arms from some of the hives. I am allergic to all alchohol. The surprsing thing is that some times I can get away with one or two drinks without any side effects and there are times that my feet start to itch and I find that my body had turned almost completly red. I have not had any allergy testing, doc says, stay away or, as soon as you start feeling the effects, stop, that is usually a flushed face and heart papulations. I have now decided to stop drinking because as I get older, I am not sure if I am doing damage to my heart. And, I need my heart more then the glass of wine. Good Luck.
So I’m 18, have sports and allergy induced asthma (probably has somthing to do with this annoyance) and unfortunately, like you all, I have a similiar problem. When I drink (especially to fast, like normal college kids do) I get the red nose that looks like I just came back from a ski resort. Basically, my whole nose blushes and the blushing stops in between my eyes–so theres basically a line that seperates my red nose, from my pale forhead, hah. Also, my ears (usually its one or the other, normally its not both at once) get red, my neck gets splotchy and then it reaches to my arms and shoulders. Thats when I decide to take____ (woops, mixing alcohol and drugs, not so good, however) it slowly goes away–not so much my nose–but everything else….Okay, so i was getting tired of this reoccurence so I decided to experiment. One night I’ll only drink vodka the next only tequila or wine…I never concluded anything, but if anyone else has did you figure anything out? What affects you worse? I also believe my skin is a human thermometer. When I am warm, my skin gets pinkish; if hot, it gets red; when cold it does the opposite, but when i get back into warmer temperatures my nose gets really red. I find different foods, make me warmer, therefore my skin shows it (mainly my nose, then onto my arms). Really, I’ve just learned to accept it, I hate it, but what am I suppose to do. I guess just not drink. I just hope my nose doesn’t become a swollen up tomato by the age of 50.
The name of medicine i take to stop the redness around my neck and shoulders, and the hopes that it’ll stop the nose i Benadryl!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BENADRYL, it works sometimes, but mixing it with alcohol will make you sort of tired…
I get hives when I drink Merlot. I can drink Cabs etc, but not Merlot. I still get Red Wine Headaches from time to time, and mixed with the right food, a glass of wine can set off a migraine, but only the Merlot makes me break out in a rash. Does anyone know WHY only Merlot would do this? I like Cabs better anyway, but after reading all these things I’m a little nervous that as I get older my reactions will get worse…
I have been experiencing swollen eye lids for almost a year. I can’t figure out what is causing it. I even went to an allergist, did all the tests and nothing really came of it. The swelling doesn’t really seem to be consistent with any specific actions or food. However, I am starting to suspect wine and or cheese.
The swollen eyelids seem to be the only symptoms I have from whatever this is and they sting like crazy when I try to put any sort of cream on them once the swelling goes down. Can anyone help me??
I have developed the stuffy nose/wheezing/itchy, swollen ears combo from drinking red wine. My favorite, of course. I am not much for white wine or beer. I also have allergic reactions to sulpha drugs, which I have known for years. It took MONTHS for me to peg the wine to my symptoms. I drink wine with dinner every single night, so needless to say it’s a total bummer that I can no longer do this. I’m sure my ears, nose and throat will be thankful, though 🙂
By the way, I am 35, which is generally the age that lots of you discovered your allergies. I have been drinking red wine regularly for about 7 years or so.
I am hoping that I can enjoy an occassional glass at some point. Maybe I will try the wines without sulphites to see if I don’t get a reaction.
Whenever I drink Red Wine I become so intoxicated very quickly …one drink 8 ounces in a 3 hour period and I need to be driven home? I also black out and don`t remember much of the night …I am not a big drinker but have noticed a pattern over the years , once night I received a concussion…..recently one night I was argumentive and police were called and I was taken to jail and didn`t remember why?…I am 43 and its taken me this long to realize the connection to all of these incidents has been red wine? Anyone else? I would hate to give up my occasional glass…maybe I could drink organic?
at last the mystery has been solved, I’m allergic to red wine .My husband and I love to have a good steak and a bottle of red wine on a weekend ,snuggle down and watch a romantic movie, you can guess where this is going? No! I start sneezing by the 3rd glass and sit with a box of tissues all evening sneezing and my eyes itching,Oh well it’s back to the gin and tonic for me.
My daughter decided to buy some red wine actually grape colored, more purple. We drank the bottle, and I had sores al over my mouth on the inside. Could hardly see them but could sure feel them, along with the sneezing…I bought another bottle just to see and that was it. No Black Swan Chardonay for me..ever again.
I’m in my late thirties and in the last year started having stomach pains after drinking even a little beer or wine. My internet research indicates that this can be indirectly linked to increased copper levels. Too much copper drives down molybdenum levels and molybdenum is part of the sulfite breakdown process.
I have been taking a molybdenum supplement for about 2 months and can again enjoy a beer or a glass of white wine (not red, ouch) without any problems. I haven’t tested beyond a single serving.
I am 24 and have never been a big wine drinker, but my boyfriend loves wine and I have been drinking more in the past few weeks. At first, I noticed with white wine (Gewurtz and Chardonnay so far) that I had a small pain under my rib cage. But in the last four times this has happened, the pain has been accompanied by severe nausea and the pain is so intense, it hurts to be touched or even talk. I have never been affected like this by alcohol. From the looks of other comments, most people experience the cold/flu like symptoms. Has anyone else experienced this pain in their rib cage area?
I am 56 years old and have developed allergies to trees, grasses, ragweed, corn, wheat, eggs, iceberg lettuce, garlic, tomatoes, chicken, and alcohol (especially red wine, some to white wine and some beers)I actually get sinus infections if I eat and drink high concentrations of the things I’m allegic to in a short span of time(days or weeks. Tonight, I had about a third of a glass of burgundy and felt weak, hot and faint and developed a slight headache after I drank it and stopped drinking it. I had to lay down.I was back to near normal within about an hour and a half. I think I am histamine intolerant.
Last week, after I had developed a cold and it went into a very bad sinus infection, I bought “Airborne” to boost my immune system. I took it as directed and within a 24 hour period the infection cleared out and I felt wonderful. I think this could help my allergies.
Well, after reading three and a half years worth of comments on this page, I have found no answers addressing gastrointestinal side effects due to wine (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). If I have just one glass of wine I get these side effects, as well as exaggerated drunkness. I’m an avid beer drinker and can tolerate most of the hard liquor I’ve tried. Only wine makes me sick. Are there any answers out there?
Am gutted but at 27 I think I have developed an alcohol allergy . I do sneeze when drinking , however it is much worse the morning after with a lot of sneezing and headaches -not with all wine but its definitely a common occurence . The deciding factor was waking up this morning with hives below and above my eyes so much so couldn’t open one eye after just two glasses of white wine last night . Gonna stop drinking for a few weeks see how it goes .
………..just some things to add:
My brother in law gets gout in his feet when
drinking red wine, he alway
…oops…….anyways he always has gout but it definately worsens alot with red wine. For myself,redwine makes my hands swollen and stiff in the morning, also kind of itchy. My face looks swollen in the morning with the baggy eyes. When I drink water, the night i’m sipping wine it helps.I hope this helps. Does this stop my from sipping red wine and eating cheeze-its? Heck no! 🙂 P.s. I’m 42.
I’ve been wondering why I get completely congested after drinking (red) wine, champagne, beer, and now sometimes gin and rum as well. This web site has been very helpful. I’m in my early 40’s, and I’ve noticed the problem worsening as I get older. I’m not now nor have I ever been much of a drinker, but I do on occasion like a glass of wine or beer. Very sad, indeed.
Alright, I’ve just realized that I’m allergic to CERTAIN red wines. I’m a big red wine drinker and have at least one glass per day. I’ve consumed many different brands of wine without any problems. A few weeks ago I decided to try a few ‘cheap’ brands–$3 per bottle–so I bought 3 bottles(two of the same brand and one that was different). Well, the one ‘different brand’ I finished off the first week without any problems–but as soon as I opened those last two bottles, that’s when the trouble began. For the past week and a half, I’ve had a mysterious rash on my upper body–inside of arms,neck,armits–all the sensive areas. At first I thought it was the new bath soaps that I’ve been using so I quit with them. Well, the rash never went away and last night I finished off the last of those two bottles. I had about 3 glasses worth and my strange rash has spread down my waist this morning–accompanied by a bad case of diarrhea. I doubt I’m allergic to sulfates–otherwise I’d have had a reaction to all of the other wines that I’ve consumed. ‘Cheap’ wine has nothing to do with it–the first $3 bottle gave me no reaction. By the way, all three of those bottles I bought were made in California–so it didn’t matter ‘where’ they were made either. If you’ve had a reaction to a certain wine, try another brand–no more Cabernet Sauvignon for me!
For those allergic to something in the wine, maybe organic wines would do the trick. Bonterra Vineyards has some good wines. It may not work for everyone, but at least it won’t have sulfites or traces of pesticides.
With regards to Lori Park’s comments, alcohol of any sort often aggravates the symptoms of gout.
A few weeks ago a had a glass of red wine and broke out in hives all over my upper body. After an hour or so they went away, but I tried it again the next night and the same thing happened. So far, every time I drink red wine I experience hives, white wine is completely fine, and so is cheap beer. I had a nicer beer awhile ago and I had the same reaction. The mixture of different wines and different beers has me all confused. I know what type of drink gives me hives but I don’t know why!
I too and very surprised to find this web site. I think I am allergic to white wine. Some of you have described the swollen lips and blistering. I have been dealing with severly chapped blistering lips for a month now. I thought it was a food allergy, but it’s not it has to be the wine. I went to a dermatologist a month ago and she gave me some ointments to treat my lips. They worked and I thought I was cured etc etc.
Well last night I had some of my good old standby white wine and low and behold my lips are severly chapped and blistery. It Has to Be It!
A few people mentioned being very emotional and a little out of their mind when they drink white wine and some people describing black outs, um guilty as charged with the emotional make that very emotional Like weepy and sometimes argumetative moods as well.
it’s the wine baby! I swear not just the fact that you are drinking alcohol ( we know alcohol no matter what kind can affect your mood) but I think that it is very interesting that you notice these moods, or changes on a specific alcohol. It’s your whole body protesting what is in it’s system. It may not be like being violently ill with stomach pain and the hives, but it is definetly a different way of showing a symptom.
I will have to say I am done with white wine, no more nada.
LC
i am also suffer with this problem but i day when i watch tv i see ad about hangover so i try that tablets now i am
always felling better
avoid fish with wine because its also causes for allergies.and take little amount of wine for good health
I love drinking wine, but I develop a severe sore throat when I drink it. I only have to have a few sips an my throat flares up and is really sore, usually only one side of the throat. This lasts a couple of days. So I have given red wine up and now only drink white. I am confused because sometimes I still get these syptoms when drinking white wine but not all the time. I had it last weekend after white wine in a restraunt, starting with one side of my throat, then the other, I felt really ill and found it hard to swallow. Does anyone know which ingrediant in some wines this might be?
After months of trying to figure out what was wrong with me, I’ve discovered I’m allergic to something in alcoholic beverages. When i drink wine (red or white), i sneeze uncontrollably and end up completely congested and with swollen salivary glads. When I drink spirits, the left side of my face gets all swollen and itchy. I’ve been to the doctor countless times, have taken all kinds of drugs and i’ve had a CT scan–all to no avail. By researching on the internet and this site, I’ve figured it out on my own. Thanks all who posted to this site. Tina
I believe there is a wine-diarrhea. I do not drink very often, and only a glass or two of wine, but I always spend the next day pooping like mad. 🙁
I’ve noticed that drinking red wine has given me a mild skin rash on my temples and around my nose. When I stopped drinking red wine it went away and when drank red wine again it came right back. I hate to give up my love of good red wine, but it seems I may have to. :-(…
Re Lori Park’s Brother-in-law and gout. Lori, tell him to take a 1/4 teaspoon of Baking Soda (Sodium Bi-carbonate) in a glass of water 3 times daily and to drink plenty of water. Carb Soda is highly alkaline so reacts with an acid – in this case uric acid, the cause of gout to create a salt which can dissolve in the blood and be excreted by the liver and kidneys. He may go through greater pain from time to time but should persist as this is the Uric Acid crystals moving out of the joints and into solution in the blood and the extra water will enable the liver and kidneys to flush the blood. For a couple of months, if he will stick rigidly to a gluten-free diet that should help immensely (and will probably take some waist-line away) as it allows the liver and kidneys to cleanse themselves and become more efficient at getting the uric acid out of the blood.
Unfortunately during this time red wine will probably aggravate the gout but if he stays gluten-free, he can probably eat and drink all he wants once the gout has cleared up.
For me, I am looking for a specific reference to Merlot causing skin reactions so if anyone knows where it is, can they please post a note? I have seen it before about 20 months ago but cannot find it.
Thanks.
Just narrowed the itching hands, legs and arms, burning face, and swelling lips down to one particular wine. After only one sip (didn’t really like it) of a 2005 Carbernet Sauvignon on two different occasions, I had these allergic reactions within minutes. Fortunately, the reactions lasted only about 30 minutes. No other wines have ever done this to me! Thanks for all your postings. They were quite insightful.
So I love red wine… though lately I have been getting really congested when I drink it and my throat starts to itch and burn 🙁 This happens after only one glass and its really saddening. Any idea as to what I’m allergic to? I’m allergic to cats, sulfa drugs, raw avocados, bananas, carrots and walnuts. This is also starting to happen to me with beer, though it takes maybe two servings or more to produce the effect though with wine it only takes a glass.
has anyone had a bloody nose as a reaction to drinking wine or any alcohol
help please!!!
I drink white wine and all is fine, but occasionally i have such a bad reaction that it can wipe me out for a day with migraine type symptoms, feeling sick, sinus problems, pain in my neck, throat,head. I am trying to pin down the culprit and it does seem to be when I drink cheap wine–ie when drinking in pubs. I never have more than 2 glasses so I know its not the volume it has to be the chemicals added. I also never get to see the bottle so dont know which one to avoid. I am now going to monitor it more closely as things are getting worse.
i had a bottle of mildbeer some sips of hard beer ,
and soda water whisky…….about 6100 ml….
and 2 day mornin i am sufferin frm serious skin allergy…..my hands and feet are all red……….and itch like hell
i also had vomited 2 the night back and …….
so finally can i claim alcohol 2 be the ultimate reason or what?
i did not evn have any junk food not evn chicken
