Whenever I have even small amounts of any
type of alcohol...Wine, beer, vodka, I get
a horribly painful headache within ten
minutes. My face doesn't really turn
red, though my eyes sort of do from the
headache... I'm not asian so I don't
think its asian flush. Also I never had
this problem until I turned 16 which is
strange, and I used to love drinking. At
least I won't be an alcoholic now...
Am I simply allergic to alcohol? Since
my reaction happens to any type of alcohol
it can't be something like sulphites in
wine that so many people complain of.

I think I might have a reaction as well.
When I drink, I get all hot and my face
turns red. People think its just that I
am blushing because I am embarassed but I
dont know. What do you think?
