I used to drink alot in college, but after I got married I started getting all red and blotchy whenever I drink alcohol. I don't itch or anything, but everyone stares! So I just don't drink anymore. I know what you mean about your body changing. I was never allergic or had sinus problems in my life until I turned 24
We moved from upstate NY to CT and I started getting these HORRIBLE headaches. I took Tylenol or aspirin and nothing helped. I seriously thought I might have a brain tumor or something. My friend was a nurse and she suggested I take a sinus medication and I laughed at her and said I didn't have any sinus issues, but I tried it anyway. I wanted to kiss her feet! I got relief right away. It seems like the older I get the more trouble I have with allergies and sinuses.

Shana, it could also be something you're combining. My MIL has problems when she has shellfish and alcohol in the same meal.

My daughter got hives so bad I took her to the emergency room. He told me to watch her breathing because it could close up her throat and she'd stop breathing. Scared the bejeebies out of me. I made her sleep with me for 2 nights so I could hear her breath.

Cumulative exposure. I think its just nature's way of telling you, "You've had enough of that"! As our environment worsens, our allergies & sensitivities will probably do the same.

But seriously, I am glad that you are ok. Be careful allergic reactions can be serious to fatal.....

Allergic reactions tend to become more frequent & severe after continued exposure. So seriously, you would be much safer (and healthier as well) to abstain. "Live long & prosper"
