does anyone else ever get migraines from drinking wine or beer? Seems like just the smell can trigger one for me :(

Yes...I do...alcohol is a common trigger for migraines. I used to get migraines every time I would have an occasional drink...so now, I forgo the occasional social drink altogether.
Scents are another common trigger for migraines...I can't wear perfume either.

Well alcohol in general is dehydrating and can cause headaches in people even without history of migraines. If you feel a headache coming on that day don't drink. I try to drink only when I am feeling good. Water and food also helps. Red wine is notorious for headaches, beer not so much because of lower alcohol content.

Yes this has happens to both my sisters, their doctor recommended they give up on wine. They said it was the tannin that was causing the headaches. They are now looking for something else alcoholic in nature to drink.

A friend of mine gets them whenvers she drinks. Cheap alcohol does it the worst. Top shelf alcohol doesn't seem to cause them.

Drink plenty of water an hour before you go for the drinking session...see the difference...at least it has helped me.

It depends on how much I drink.
