This might be silly, but... I'm a light weight, both in how much alcohol I can drink and in my actual body size. But, despite the fact that I can drink two single-size smirnoff ice's (5% alcohol, vodka), and I don't get drunk (just tipsy) I still feel really horrible as I come out of it. I get really hot and nauseous. Hang overs are supposed to happen the next day, not thirty minutes after the drink!!

Also, my arms, shoulders, and sometimes my neck, feel sore when I drink, like almost as if I can feel the alcohol going right through them. Like, ever got those shots of medicine that makes your arm hurt? It's kind of like that.

It doesn't matter what I drink, whether it's vodka, rum, or beer. Same thing, although it does seem to happen faster with vodka than with beer.

If this happens to anyone else, i'd like to know!

Some people have an allergy to alcohol, sounds like you may have a mild case. Don't know what you can do about it though other than not drink.

Haha! Oh dah, it's not worth the effort you know? I'll just not drink if it makes me feel bad, right? Lol.

But but...The alcohol! Its gotta be drunk at some point or another lol.

Do not not like to drink, or does it not bother you if you do or not.

Anyway I meant by allergy test that you could find out what specific ingredient of any alcohol u could be allergic to.

Cause then you can eliminate that specific food.

Stop feeling icky.

And drink alcohol.

If u get me :)
