Allergic to alcohol?

by curious, Dec 07, 1999 12:00AM
This is not about addiction to alcohol, but just a funny reaction I get when I drink it.  If I have a drink (wine, beer, vodka, etc.), within a few sips, my face turns red and gets blotchy, I get warm, and in general it takes a lot less of it for me to "feel" the effects than most people.  It is not just on an empty stomach either.  Am I allergic to alcohol or something in it?  Have you heard of this before?  Is it dangerous?  Can you tell me more - I don't drink much.   Thanks!
