Could I have an alcohol alergy - Pains after drinking alcohol

Hi, Does anyone have any similar symptoms. The night after drinking without fail I am awoken with pains in throat area. I find it very diffficult swallowing and after several hours of this pain, I will bring up a lot of bile but no sick and the pains go away. I have had several tests done and they are unable to find anything. Does anyone else have a smiliar issue?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

It could be alcohol intolerance as suggested above.  We can develop allergies to different things throughout our lifetimes as the allergy develops in response to a repeated stimulus. It is possible to develop new allergies, you could develop new allergic reactions  to food or other substances. You will only have to closely monitor and avoid the same.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I had an allergy to alcohol. It gave me asthma that once was so sudden and severe that I was blacking out. Luckily my dinner partner was a doctor. I was subsequently cured of the allergy.

The throat problem certainly sounds like allergy, except for the delay in your reaction. It should be immediate. It seems more likely that alcohol or some additive in the alcohol is toxic for you. If that is the case you should never drink anything alcoholic.
