Allergic to Rum

by casyopya, May 27, 2008 01:51PM

Tags: allergic, swollen, lips, drink

I think that I'm allergic to rum. I drink rum and coke pretty often. Specifically Myers or Capt. Morgan. About a month ago I noticed that my lips were slightly swollen, and the swelling seems to correspond with days that I drink more heavily.

Has any one experienced anything like this?

I did not have the same response to drinking beer, but I am allergic to eay and one little sip can send me into the bathroom for days.

No offense meant here but this is a site for people who are trying our best to quit drinking, not recommend another type of booze. I would guess you are allergic to rum, because i have a friend that was and is allergic to all liquor, even beer. So HE quit and hasn't had a drink in over 20 years. He wasn't an alcoholic but was allergic for sure.
So good luck to you. tj
