loumeinhart 0 #1 January 21, 2005 I have a fair complexion and good skin, but if I drink ANYTHING other than light beer. ie bud/r rock/vodka/ I get huge red blotches on my face and down my neck - they almost look like birthmarks or a bad rash, my face feels real warm. This will happen after 2 tall budweisers - but I could drink bud light all night and never get them ???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbordson 8 #4 January 21, 2005 From the brief description, sounds like Rosacea. but check this website (http://www.rushcopley.com/HealthContent/Adult/derm/rosa.htm) or chat with a dermatologist to confirm Supposibly (I don't know if it's really a word, but oh well) WC Fields had it too.

If it has an antihistamine in it (many allergy medicines do), I don't think you're supposed to mix them with alcohol.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #8 January 21, 2005 I'll get that sometimes after certain drinks, but like you, not all of them. I'll also get really red and blotchy when I'm upset or stressed, and when I cry? Forget it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's a prescription like Allegra or something that's probably even worse to mix with alcohol! -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Some people have that allergy of looking flushed across the top of the chest up to the cheecks in the face after kicking back some. Funny how some people also have that same flushed look when they are ughm... you know... ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

ACMESkydiver 0 #11 January 21, 2005 I get that too...fair skin as well. It is REALLY BAD when I drink red wine...looks like someone dipped their finger tips in red paint and touched my face and neck. But I LOVE the stuff and I love the song by UB40... My mom has the same problem too...and my dad gets very flush right away, but it's uniform all over his face (he is also Native American and not quite the pale faces we are though. )~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
