Perhaps just histamine release💁♂
Alcohol and other ingredients can trigger the release of histamines in some people, which can lead to allergic reactions, including redness and warmth in the skin.
I recently don’t do well with beer anymore. Last time it was so bad I thought I was going to drown in post nasal 😬

You could be slightly allergic to it (or have a sensitivity to it) happens to me, although it’s probably because my mom drank while she was pregnant with me.

I am the same. I react quite strongly to alcohol, get drunk really easily too.

@PatientlyWaiting25 me too but I think it’s because I’m not supposed to drink on my medication

@MommaBear I think there is something individual about it, does that to me too.
I suffer the same disposition and I know exactly why. Its not even funny when friends and acquaintances know how much you've had because your face is turning different shades of lobster

@DrScissorhands I’m sorry different shades of lobster got me 😂

Your skin turns red when you drink alcohol primarily due to a combination of blood vessel dilation and the accumulation of acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct of alcohol metabolism.
This reaction, known as alcohol flush reaction or "Asian flush," is most commonly caused by a genetic deficiency in the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), which is responsible for breaking down acetaldehyde.
When ALDH2 is deficient or inactive, acetaldehyde builds up in the body, triggering widespread vasodilation, particularly in the face, leading to redness, warmth, and sometimes discomfort.

@Yourbeau Same for me but I had never had it from any other type of alcoholic drink. Just wine.
