i occasionally drink wines..rhum..brandy..tequila...all kind of alcohol!except for beer because of the taste...
i was caught in the situation that i have nothing to drink but beer!i consumed 1 bottle 330 ml...after a couple of hours i got palpitation...so i slept it out.. the next day i woke up with a lot of rashes and petechiae all over my body..i took my my regular antihistamine and got relieved after 1 hour...im just wondering what does beer have that is not found in other wines...why am i allergic to beer and not in strong alcohol drinks...

Hello,

It is usually not the alcohol that produces the allergic reaction to the wine or beer. The other ingredients in the alcohol, such as yeast, sulfur dioxide, and additives are often the culprits. Beer may contain a variety of ingredients, including barley, corn, wheat, and rye that may precipitate an allergic reaction.

It may be that you are allergic to any of the constituents of alcohol which is causing you these symptoms.In future try avoiding beer as it may cause an anaphylactic reaction also if you are allergic to any of its constituents.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted.
