I have such a low tolerance for acoholic beverages that I don't drink at all. Very similar to your situation; my system can't even tolerate one or two drinks without my feeling sick for days after. My father is the same way that I am, so I am guessing it is something inherited? I am not sure the cause -- I just know the result isn't worth the indulgence of a couple of drinks. Others may have more input, but I just wanted you to know, you are not alone and I am sure there are probably many others who can't tolerate alcoholic drinks.

Bowiefan,
Are you taking any medications that might be giving you a disulfuram-like reaction??
