That is exactly what happens to me! It can happen on any alcohol. Not as much on whiskey. Red and blotchy starts on my neck moves to my face and ears, hot to the touch and it gets hard to breathe. If I keep drinking it moves to my hands and feet and they itch really bad. I’ve never been able to figure out why and my doctor thinks it’s caused from my thyroid condition. I have my doubts about that... so far the only thing that works for me is to stop drinking until it goes away and then I can start again
I have the same problem. Have had it since college, which was 15 years ago. Scientifically or medically I don’t have a answer as to why is happens. I do drink quit often so this has had a major effect on my social life due to embarrassment, having to leave bars or lock myself in room until the redness goes away. I do think it has something to do with dehydration and alcohol with high sugar contents. It generally only happens to me when I drink for several days straight which makes me believe dehydration has a lot to do with it since I don’t consume much water or none alcoholic beverages during those times. I’ve done plenty of research and it doesn’t seem like there is a pill to prevent this but I will continue to hope for a remedy bc stopping drinking is not a option.
Hi,
I know this is an old post, but I'm curious if you ever discovered what was happening. I have the same issue - drinking often, experiencing the redness/heat and trouble breathing occasionally... not sure what it is! Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
