Is it possible to become allergic to alcohol?
An alcohol allergy is when your body reacts to alcohol as if it's a harmful intruder and makes antibodies that try to fight it off. This causes an allergic reaction. Alcohol allergies are rare, but if you do have one, it doesn't take much to trigger a reaction. Two teaspoons of wine or a mouthful of beer may be enough.
Why do my allergies flare up when I drink alcohol?
Beer, wine and liquor contain histamine, produced by yeast and bacteria during the fermentation process. Histamine, of course, is the chemical that sets off allergy symptoms. Wine and beer also contain sulfites, another group of compounds known to provoke asthma and other allergy-like symptoms.
