Possible alcohol intolerance?

Anytime I drink anything, regardless of amount, it can be as small as one cider. I feel so sick, in the moment I feel uncomfortably hot. However, the next morning is usually awful for me. I wake up with a migraine, heatburn coupled with acid reflux, and horrific diarrhea that smells strongly of straight alcohol! I just don't understand why, especially since I am Caucasian and not of any Asian descent.

Thank you for your time.

Some people's bodies metabolize things differently. Sounds like your body is "allergic" to alcohol. It's like being lactose intolerant, only you're alcohol intolerant.
