My girlfriend has recently developed a skin irritation and itches to the point of making herself bleed. It only occurs when we have had something to drink the night before. The odd thing is that when it is just beer, nothing happens. When hard alcohol is involved though, then she starts itching the next morning uncontrollably. We have annalized it and believe it to be linked to either vodka or cinnamon schnaps. If anyone has any information on this please feel free to write a response.

When I used to drink yes, I was allergic to alcohol! I would get lightheadness in the back of my head & memory loss. I am allergic to alcohol. I don't drink and never will. Thank God!
