If you have an alcohol intolerance (defined by yorktest as a food-specific IgG reaction) to alcoholic drinks, your body may be producing an inflammatory response to proteins present in the fruit or other ingredients in the drink. This can be the grapes in wine or hops in beer. The yeast which ferments the alcohol can also be a cause of alcohol intolerance symptoms
In addition to the problems which could be caused by the ingredients, ethanol also opens up blood vessels which can exacerbate symptoms such as asthma, urticaria or rhinitis. Alcohol can also increase gut permeability which can increase the likelihood of an intolerance forming.
An ethanol or alcohol allergy is extremely rare and is due to an enzyme deficiency. Instead, you may have an intolerance, where uncomfortable but non-life-threatening symptoms are presented because you are reacting to one of the ingredients in the alcoholic drink.
In fact, there can be many reasons why people are intolerant to alcoholic drinks, and most don’t have anything to do with the ethanol itself.
