Alcohol intolerance

[Stephen]

does anyone have some kind of alcohol intolerance or a reaction to something in alcohol?

I can drink alcohol usually but sometimes I get a really bad red rash EVERYWHERE and my asthma goes completely crazy. It's weird because most of the time I'm okay but other times i just turn into a tomato and go wheezey as hell. I read into it and heard that sulphite allergy can cause it. It's funny though cos I can drink sulphite containing wine/beer etc but if i eat a certain food i have this reaction

also any scars turn as bright as the sun

anyone else get this?

btw that red patch below is from a scar from like 10 years ago wtf

Ouch! Is it painful or itchy?

The only thing I've noticed is that when I first start drinking (usually cider), I get a red patch under my eye, but it usually fades quite quick and I'm fine once I've drank some more- weird!

yeah i think it's to do with sulphites

mine doesn't get that bad holy shit i wouldn't keep drinking if it did!
for me i get a rash liek this

(not me)

and its mostly vodka that makes me unable to breathe n a numb mouth

i get the rash like after my 3rd drink after that it goes away

but i get the same rash when im nervous or have eaten hot or spicy foods, usually only my chest but when im drinking alcohol it goes all over my body except my face

urs looks like a complete reaction

No I tend to be fine with alcohol, I remember my ex used to get really red and looked like he couldn't breathe when he drank certain drinks (I think he can drink them now, I'm not sure I haven't spoken to him in years).

when I tend to drink wine I just get really hot and my face and chest goes bright red not as bad as that tho!!!

Looks bad that! I sometimes get rosey cheeks but I think that's quite nornal

My mum gets patchy on her chest if she mixes drinks, just a rash if she doesn't mix.
My chest gets really really tight a lot of the time. I did end up in a&e once because I couldn't breathe at all, but I think it's a common thing to have.
Maybe monitor if it's certain drinks that do it to you

I don't get anything like that but sometimes when I drink alcohol I end up feeling like I'm drunk or something which is weird

[Cerys]

Omg that looks awful I hope it doesn't hurt or anything!!!

As far as I know I don't get any rashes or anything like that but the last two times I've had more than two pints I've felt so ridiculously ill and been sick which is crazy! Never happened to me before so I dunno why I'm suddenly dying from such a little amount now hahah

You may have super powers and you have not even realized it yet
What curious reactions

When I drink a little beyond the "recommended" dose, my line of thinking changes a little
my level of creativity rises to an oddly high level (I need to note down some ideas I have during this process)
I feel an uncontrollable urge to sing and laugh, imagining random "funny" situations involving my friends and family

not too serious tho
