Allergic reaction after pregnancy

I gave birth to my son 5 months ago, and ever since then I've been having a reaction to alcohol. My face gets bright red and starts to swell. It's not all alcohol though. I thought it was just alcohol with yeast in it, but even hard liquor does it. Everything except Captain Morgan's that I've found so far. Can anyone help me? Is it the yeast or does anyone else know if maybe the pregnancy affected it? It never happened before I got pregnant and I'm a little bothered by it, I never know what I can drink besides captains, oh and Malibu... Any help or advice???

You can be allergic to so many things for no easy reason...Hopefully you are not breastfeeding your son while drinking hard liquor? For the health of yourself and child - maybe you shouldn't drink and not worry about it...
