Really we have the same alcohol reaction? Actually i'm not into alcohol drinker but sometimes specially if there is occassion all of my friends are drinking and im just the one who sitted beside their drinking softdrinks or juices. They offer me a drink but all i got to do is to refused them. I'm feel really bad about my situation...
It definitely sounds like you could have some type of allergy to alcohol! I have a friend who has very similar symptoms after drinking but his normally starts within about 6 hours of having a couple of drinks. Alcohol allergies at some level is surprisingly more common than most people think.
My advice, talk to your Dr. about it just to make sure its nothing more serious ie: liver issues.
Good luck!
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.
Has anyone ever heard of such a sudden or violent allergic reaction? Sudden allergic reaction to alcohol. Nurse added it could have been a contaminated glass, cleaning solution used, cross contamination from bartender. IDK!!! Nobody else at the table (and my buddie checked with the manager and no other reported complaints) had any issues or problems. Has anyone ever heard of such a violent allergic reaction to what I assume would be a very small amount of alcohol?
i've had an allergy to alcohol,or as i describe it intolerance,for some years,dont get me wrong,i went out every weekend as a teenager,worse for wear on several occastions,but now i cant touch a drop,as when i do,i feel sick(as i am drinking it,not the morning after!
I asked for help on here a couple weeks ago for my alcohol intolerance/allergy. The first couple of times I ever drank I my forearms would swell up and break out in hives and itch very badly. I haven't gotten the hives in a while but my forearms still swell up and itch. Someone on here told me that I should take an antihistamine such a levocetrizine or cetrizine. I took 1 Zyrtec and I felt fine for a couple of hours but my arms eventually swelled up and started to itch again.
Lately I've been experiencing something that feels/looks like an allergic reaction. Since about last year, after almost everything I eat, I feel nauseated. Then recently i had a drink of alcohol, and immediately my mouth (lips and tongue) were swollen, along with difficulty breathing. Since then I stopped drinking alcohol, and it didn't happen for awhile until I went to the dentist for a filling.
Tuesday he was fine all day, came home, ate dinner, and a while later suddenly had a SEVERE antabuse reaction. He had not had any alcohol, the only thing I can think of was the vinegar in the salad dressing? But the reaction was so severe, it was quite shocking.The next day he was still sick, now throwing up, feeling dizzy, etc - with no alcohol involved at all.
Could he be allergic to the Antabuse just per se? How dangerous is this? Should he discontinue the meds totally?

Many of these medications also contain agents in them such as benzl alcohol for example as a preservative. Other agents which adjust pH levels in the drugs can be the cause of the allergy.
This is why we never use local anesthetics with presevatives when we do a spinal or epidural anesthetic.
You can speak with your family doctor about your desire to get tested for allergies to these agents. All that is needed is for the doctor to give you a consult for a allergy clinic.
This can be caused by alteration in the Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) gene; food allergy such as beer components malted barley, hops and yeast; and allergy to alcohol itself. An allergy test may help identify the specific allergen that should be avoided. It is best that you check with your doctor for proper evalaution. Take care and regards.
It causes direct vasodilation of the skin, related either to alcohol directly or its metabolite, acetaldehyde. Alcohol is oxidized to acetaldehyde in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). This acetaldehyde is further converted to acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. In some individuals due to abnormal or deficient acetaldehyde dehydrogenase will cause accumulation of acetaldehyde which is a potent trigger of flushing. It is known as disulfiram like reaction.
It could indicate an allergic reaction. More so if repeated episodes have occurred with consumption of alcohol. Allergic reactions are mediated by IgE antibodies, which are released on exposure to a particular allergen. These in turn activate mast cells and lead to a local response or systemic anaphylaxis. It can occur at anytime. It may help to maintain a food dairy and keep monitoring your symptoms. This will help to narrow the search and avoid them.
t recall this reaction, nor have I ever had this reaction to CHinese food, particularly the dish I ate, which I had eaten in the past without a reaction. Actually, I went back to the same restaurant, had Chinese food, did not have the Therflu or the Beer and had no reaction.
This scares me, so your help is appreciated.
It honestly feels like someone is squeezing my heart, and that my spinal cord is being clenched. I was wondering if these seem like symptoms of a rum allergy? But I've never experienced this feeling with any other food or drink, alcoholic or non, and the reaction is pretty quick to follow the first sips of the rum. Very strange...
Thanks for you help!
You can accomplish that. Aftercare can help you. Our reaction to alcohol is what makes us alcoholics, not how much we drink. The best way to describe it is an allergy to alcohol. When we drink all bets are off. We end up with consequences. Her relationship with you was based on the Tony before the bottle of Vodka. When you become that Tony again, things will change for the better. But the most important thinking in sobriety is to be sober for YOU and you alone. Learn to love yourself.
So it is my opinion that your are experiencing an allergy like response. It may happen with all alcohol or you may find that there is only one type or one brand that you can consume. I am sorry that this happens to you. If it is the alcohol it should also happen when you take a cough medication or mouthwash that also contains alcohol. If it is important to you than I would suggest that you consult an allergist.
Best of luck to you.
I'm 20 years old and while I don't drink too frequently (4ish times a month), I have a pretty high alcohol tolerance for my small stature; I've only been hungover once (after a Four Loko...bad decision). However, I've noticed that I get a bizarre reaction when I drink Yuengling Lager Light - after having only one, I'll have to pee like crazy for about two hours, outputting about as much urine as if I'd had five drinks.
