Is having a bad reaction to alcohol uncommon?

Bad reaction to alcohol?

• I recently discovered, through my own experiences, that everytime I drink I get a bad rash on my skin. For example: on a given night I'll be partying with friends and I'll end up having 6-7 shots of vodka, enought to get really silly, but not outrageously drunk. I'll fall asleep and wake up in the morning to red, itchy skin all over my body except (luckily) for my face and neck and hands. The skin will feel normal to the touch, both texture and temperature, to someone else who touches it. But to me it feels extremely itchy and warm. The first time this happened the irritation lasted for almost a week. To clarify, this was also the first time I had had any alcohol in any considerable. The next time I got the rash was during the day. I decided to have a small drink in the morning to test causes of the rash and sure enough, at about 2 p.m that same day, the reaction showed up again. This time though it didnt last as long, probably because I had such a small amount of alcohol (3 shots of a 29% alcohol drink to be exact.) Then on my third time drinking, I had about 7-8 shots of vodka and woke up that morning to the exact same red, itchy skin. I'm really concerned about this, because I'm afraid it could have something to do with my liver. I have no allergies to any food/medication/animals, so it seems a bit random and unfortunate to be allergic to alcohol of all things. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

• Answer:

  it is always better to see your doctor for further clarifications.. it could be that you are not totally allergic to alcohol but only with vodka.please do not ignore the allergies..
