I'm allergic...
    #5271414 - 02/06/06 09:18 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

...to alcohol.

In the past 4 months I have developed an allergic reaction to alcohol. I can feel the effects the next day even if I only have two beers. My left sinus cavities swell up, my left chest wall swells up, and I get loss of circulation. Also if I drink several days in a row I begin to have really bad anxiety. Anti-inflammatory medication (Toradol) really helps with the inflammation. But it's a hard to get Toradol because it's a prescription.

Obviously I'm not drinking, but I would like to enjoy some drinks from time to time. Any ideas?

I am going through something similar! Every time I drink more than 2 gins, my hands and feet itch uncontrollably and swell up a little bit. I really just like gin a lot, so I havn't tried to see yet if it happens with any other alcoholic bevs. It just started happening though, and I am way upset about it.

I'm pretty sure. When I don't drink for a couple of days, the symptoms go away. If I have two drinks, the symptoms come back. I tried rum, whiskey, and vodka as well as 6 different types of beers. All the same symptoms the next day.

It's all forms of alcohol. It's probably the worst allergy I could have. I used to be a 3 to 4 beers a night drinker. Nothing heavy really. It sucks I cant do that anymore.

It seems I've picked up an allergy to alcohol. I never was before, but in the last few months, whenever I have anything to drink, my face turns completely red and I get really hot. It actually feels like my face is sun burned. It's happened with everything I've had to drink within the last few months, even if it's only a couple sips.

Really wierd, actually.

Well, for me, it's easy. I've never been a big drinker...but others are addicted. It may not be a heavy addiction, but to the point that it's not as simple as "just stopping".

When its your life your playing with, it IS that easy.

Find alternative things if yo must get high. Or find alternative hobbies if you dont to.

Tell that to my dad, who has tried quiting many times. He has some pretty bad liver problems, though I couln't go into detail of exactly what those problems are (Since I'm not completely sure, and have never bothered to ask), because of alcohol. Some people just don't have the frame of mind ot just quit.

Yep I agree. I'm not allergic to Alcohol and I hate the shit. Yuck gross disgusting drug (just like tobacco which I'm trying to quit).

You could dry DXM or GHB?

You can't be "allergic" to a poison.

Yeah, the best thing is to go have yourself tested. I'm not sure what the protocol on alcohol is.

Anyways, I'm pretty fucked in the allergy department. I'm heavily allergic to milk and moderately allergic to eggs, beef, chocolate, watermelon, and peanut butter (among other lower level things). Heh, life hates me. But I survive. For reference, all of the allergens were confirmed by lab tests.

As a child, I could drink a glass of milk and it would only give me a runny nose, and shortness of breath. Nowadays, a glass will almost put me in a coma.

I've always been trying to figure out ways around it...so I'm not sure I can help you. I just sometimes have to grin and bear it if I feel like a little chocolate or something. A little mental strength helps for the minor things, but just don't push it since I can be dangerous or costly. I'm sure "placebo" works it's way around every once and awhile. Oh and Claritin doesn't really seem to help me directly, but if I didn't take it, I would be kinda screwed.

You definently can too. Some people will get anaphylactic symptoms from insecticides, petroleum products, and just about every popular recreational drug (lsd is the exception, I can't find any med journal entries on anyone reacting to it.), amongst a whole horde of other things you wouldn't think of.

Just out of curiousity, are you of an east Asian ancestory? Alcohol allergy is quite common for people of east Asian decent.
