I guess it could be a histamine intolerance as well as masterblogger it said. And if it is true and we were right, you should try to get Daosin. It helps you to check up your histamine level within your body and stops the allergic reaction!

Another possibility is an allergy to what the beer is made out of - grain.  I would  try straight liquor and see if you get the same response.  You may be able to drink just not beer.

Obviously go very slow - small sip at first, wait - no reaction then a bit more.  

Good luck

go to your allergist and make a test for histamine intolerance! Thats what I think! If really got it, it is possible to eat and drink histamine rich food. Usually it's forbidden to eat or drink it cause your body starts with an allergic reaction. But you can buy "Daosin", it makes it possible to eat and drink what ever you want. For further information you can google it :)
best wishes

Oh wow, that is a problem. I do know that our systems and allergies can chance every five years, maybe this is your case. I sure would steer away from drinking if I had those reactions.
