The body turned red after drinking alcohol.

After drinking a Smirnoff ice and a little bit of vodka I have developed rashes all over my body. My whole body was red but there is no hives. Could this be an allergic reaction to alcohol? It was my first time drinking.

Hi,
This could be an alcohol intolerance. Alcohol can cause effects on the body such as headache, rapid heartbeat, nausea or vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, nasal congestion, or warm, red, itchy skin. With intolerance, you are more sensitive to these effects compared to other people. Allergy pertains to the immune system which produces antibodies when exposed to a specific trigger or allergy. It is commonly associated with hives, swelling of the mouth, or difficulty breathing.

I would recommend you to check with your dermatologist for allergy testing. You may not be allergic to the alcohol itself, but to the preservatives or additives found in the alcohol.
