Today, I discovered that alcohol makes me red-faced, extremely gassy and eager to discuss my virginity with everyone. FML

Today, I went to the doctor to inquire about the nasty rash on my arms. He concluded that I'm allergic to beer and the rash will go away if I stay away from it. I'm a bartender. FML

Today, I went to my first ever high school party with music, drinks, and dancing. Within a few minutes of taking my first ever shot of tequila, I was in the worst pain in my life. My parents were called and I had to be taken to the hospital. I'm alcohol intolerant. FML

Today, I found out that my "friends" only invite me to their parties when they need a designated driver. Apparently I'm "not fun" because I don't drink, which "ruins the party". FML

Today, I noticed that I'm way more productive when I'm drinking than when I'm not. I think I just figured out why I'm related to so many alcoholics. FML

Today, I found out that I am allergic to one of the preservatives that they put in aloe. I found this out after I put some on a severe sunburn I have. Not only am I sunburned, but now I am severely itchy as well. FML

Are you a newspaper that you are “red all over?” Alcohol does that to lots of us!

Me too! And I've met a lot of other people with the same issue. My reactions are a little random; I'm less likely to go red with hard liquor, beer is 50/50, and with champagne or wine I *will* look like a boiled lobster. Aside from turning a lovely shade of tomato, I haven't noticed any other unpleasant symptoms. So I have my drink or two, and call it a night.

We've found something worse than being in the friendzone forever - being the eternal designated driver.

You cant just be allergic to alcohol as they are made with different ingredients and methods. Its more likely something in the alcohol specifically. If there is a certain type of alcohol you cant drink maybe you can narrow it down. For example a workmate of mine has mild allergies to Yeast so he cant drink beer or dark Spirits but he can drink most wines and white spirits.
