Allergies to alcohol will make an allergic reaction speedily after consumption of alcohol. For some unbiased a tiny redness in the face occurs and for others a full blown allergic reaction including extreme difficulty in breathing can occur. The describe to the prerogative is of an individual experiencing the classic alcohol red face reaction from drinking.
An alcohol allergy can be of varying severity from placid and uncomfortable, such as red face, congestion, and itchy skin to intense and dangerous such as trouble breathing and vomiting.
The justification for the allergic reactions to alcohol is a lack of the demean enzyme which metabolisms alcohol and not a 'true' allergy at least as medicine defines allergy. All of the symptoms above, as annoying and uniform as dangerous as they can be, are ironically sole of a state called Asian Glow or Asian Girl Glow.
Although this commonwealth is fair rare for most situation (5% or less of the population) it is very telling known to anyone who is Asian (50% of the Asian population). If you have alcohol allergy and these symptoms it is both a curse a blessing, the blessing being that your corpse is doing its task of detering you from putting harmful substances in your corpse.
When the corpse first breaks down alcohol it converts it into Acetaldehyde which chemically similar to Formaldehyde and is carcinogenic (cancer causing). Without the Aldehyde Dehydrogenase to split down the Acetaldehyde your corpse has carcinogens floating every around while you are getting a buzz.
First allow me lucid up one myth out there about alcohol intolerance and its symptoms: Pepcid or Zantac is NOT a tractable, effective treatment as it works in some situation and not others and even for those that it works for sometimes it does and sometimes it does not. In addition the consumption of these antacids lovely prior to drinking can significantly magnify alcohols inebriating effects in an unexpected presence.
