I'm allergic to beer, and it's the strangest thing. If I have one normal beer, the next day my face is flush and my eyes are red. Two and I've got a hangover and a runny nose.
I'm not much of a drinker, but other alcohol doesn't affect me like this - a cocktail or two and I'm fine the next day.
Bread and wheat doesn't seem to have negative effects, so I have no idea what it could be.
Anyone else experience similar things or have any idea what it could be?

- Igelau 5y agoThis study could be more rigorous. I volunteer for the control group as long as someone else is buying.
- Igelau 5y ago> one normal beer I mean, in the right setting, that could be a liter. Are you only drinking beer at Hofbräuhaus?

- yarcob 5y agoI also can't drink most beer. I sometimes get a hangover and headache from just a single small beer (0.3 liter) I found that I tolerate beers from some breweries better than others (the type of beer doesn't seem to make a difference). I suspect that I am allergic to certain yeasts, but to be honest I have no idea.
- popcube 5y agothey add crady things into beer, I heard some type will add oyster shell...
- cspeterson 5y agoI know someone who recently visited an allergist to investigate a similar response to beer, and testing suggested his issue was sulfites which are a common beer additive
