Some people get allergy-like symptoms when drinking alcohol, but can you really be allergic to alcohol?

Key Points: 
  • Some people get allergy-like symptoms when drinking alcohol, but can you really be allergic to alcohol?
  • The reason is that alcohol dilates blood vessels, which then sets the stage for a symphony of bodily responses.
  • Unlike allergies, which involve the immune system, intolerances arise when the body lacks the necessary enzymes to digest and eliminate alcohol.
  • True allergic reactions stemming from yeasts are a rare occurrence, dampening the suspicion that this microscopic organism is the chief cause.
