It's common for people to experience hangovers after a night of drinking, as there are times when all the water and Advil in the world won't prevent this from happening. However, if you find yourself dealing with particularly severe or bizarre reactions after you've consumed alcohol, there may be a chance that you're allergic to the ingredients in whatever it is you've been drinking.
According to The Huffington Post, here are a few allergens commonly found in alcohol:
• Gluten
• Grapes
• Histamine
• Sulfur dioxide or sulfites
• Tree nuts
• Yeast.
As for the symptoms themselves, they could be as follows:
• Anaphylaxis
• Headache
• Heartburn
• Hives
• Nasal swelling and congestion
• Nausea.
"People who believe they've had a reaction to alcohol should consult an allergist immediately and get tested for allergies to ingredients in alcohol," states the source. "For those allergic to a particular ingredient in alcohol, switching to a different beverage may help. For example, potato vodka is the most hypoallergenic alcohol. Antihistamines can also be helpful to resolve minor allergy symptoms for some people."
