Allergic reaction when drinking alcohol

Hey guys,
Whenever i start drinking alcohol I get really red. I don't necessarily have to be drunk. Even after drinking a bottle of beer it happens. Is this an allergic reaction, if so, is there anything i can do to prevent it from happening?
Thanks so much in advance.

I don't dring beer, but the same think happens to me when drinking wine.  I'm not sure how old you are, but your skin thins out as you get older.

do you have any other symptoms, such as shortness of breath?  i don't think it's too unusual to have a "flushed" face as a result of drinking.  i know one drink of wine and i sometimes have quite a red nose and red cheeks - and you're right, it is embarrassing!
