hi, i am a 20 year old female of normal weight. Ive recently experienced problems while drinking that i have previously not had. I started socially drinking at age 16 without any problems. I would consume whats considered large amounts of alcohol with absolutely no problems whatsoever for the last three and a half years. However, in the last few month every time ive started drinking ive been experiencing a type of reaction. It doesnt matter the amount, or type of alcohol being consumed. Every time with the first sip my throat begins to swell, almost as if i had strep throat. There are no alcohol allergies in my family, so i dont think this is the case. Along with my throat beginning to swell i feel almost like im sick. I get hot and sometimes dizzy. At first i thought maybe my body was becoming sensitive to the wheat in beer, but this is happening with any alcohol. I dont understand what is going on/what could be going on, and why im just now having problems have a few years.
