Hi whenever I drink with my friends or people I feel a little heat on my face and it turns red. It usually turns red around my cheeks and my forehead. I have checked my other body parts but they are not turned red it's only my face. Other friends don't turn red and it is just me and sometimes it can be embarassing. Does anyone else have this problem, or is this a sympton of allery with beer and alcohol?
Thanks for your comments.

Nitrates & sulfites are in a lot of alcoholic beverages. I don't know if those are in beer, but the wine cooler type drinks are loaded with the stuff. It causes headaches and nasal stuffiness. Some people will get a flushed face from the beverages. Another possible allergy is to the yeast which is present in all alcoholic beverages. I'm not sure what the symptoms are of that. The best thing to do is avoid alcoholic beverages. If you keep drinking you may make your allergy worse to the point you could go into anaphylactic shock. I had to quit because I couldn't breathe after drinking.
