Alcohol allergy is a disorder caused by the body’s immune system reacting to alcohol as if it were a pathogen. The body creates antibodies to stimulate the immune system to fight alcohol, which causes an allergic reaction. Alcohol allergy may be caused by the body not having the right enzymes to break down toxins from alcoholic beverages. It may also be due to genetics or certain ingredients in alcoholic beverages that are allergens, such as grains, rice, grapes, yeast, preservatives, sulfites, and histamines from fermentation or distillation, which may cause an allergic reaction.

For those who are allergic to alcohol, when drinking alcohol, the following symptoms often appear:

• The face becomes flushed, blood vessels are pumping, and the skin temperature rises, especially around the nose, cheeks, and forehead.
• Dizziness, shortness of breath, feeling congested
• There is swelling of the face, lips, สมัคร ufabet, and throat.
• Dizziness, runny nose, stuffy nose, nausea, vomiting
• Low blood pressure, palpitations, tachycardia
• Lower abdominal pain, diarrhea
• A red, itchy rash appears on the skin, similar to hives, which may last only a few minutes or take up to 2 days to disappear.
• If you are very allergic, you may lose consciousness.

Self-care for hives due to alcohol allergy may include the following:

• Wear loose, light, breathable clothing to avoid moisture buildup.
• Apply cream or moisturizer to add moisture to the skin, especially after bathing. Moisturize the skin immediately while it is still damp.
• Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every time before going out in the sun to protect your skin from UV rays that can weaken your skin and make it more susceptible to skin problems.
• Avoid risk factors that may trigger an allergic reaction by keeping a record of what you are allergic to, such as ingredients or types of alcoholic beverages that cause allergies, to prevent flare-ups.
• Avoid scratching or using harsh skin care products, as this can irritate and injure the skin.

But for those who are allergic to all types of alcohol and think that drinking a little bit won’t be harmful, Nong Care would like to suggest that you should avoid drinking at all. Because consuming a little bit can cause you to have a severe allergic reaction that could be life-threatening.
