Most times when I drink vodka, I brake out into a rash, which is bright red hot blotches on my arms , neck and chest! Why do I do that? Is there something wrong? I drink about 3 times a week, and it doesnt happen all the time! It has been happening for about 8 years... and I have cut back on my drink from everyday to the 3 times a week! I just wanna know why I would be breaking out! Anyone know anything?!?!

It's a mild allergic reaction. Nothing to be too alarmed about.

My 21 year old son also breaks out in a rash whenever he drinks champagne only. He gets very flushed and hot, then a red rash appears on his neck and upper chest particularly. This only seems to happen when he drinks champagne or similar white wine. He simply avoids it as we presume it's an allergic reaction to something in those wines that is not present in others.
Hope this helps. Happy New Year!

That's God telling you to stop. Nah, just kidding. You are probably allergic to something you're drinking. When I drink I get hot and my cheeks turn red, but I hardly ever drink so it doesn't bother me unlike you drinking three times a week. Why do you feel you need to drink that much? You're liver isn't going to be able to stand that much longer. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Good luck.

the rashes you explain are related to the liver. when the liver is damaged, toxins (yes, alcohol is a toxin) build up in the body. it is your bodies way of saying it's allergic as well.
i would get tested for liver disease...there are several considerations to be tested for:
NASH (fatty liver)
Inherited liver disorder
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis C
Have your doctor run a liver panel test AND an HCV PCR test.
(the reason being is because your liver enzymes can appear normal with the natural occurance of HCV)
Print this out, take a picture of your rash and seek the advice of your doctor.
Furthermore, I would bet you have other issues you would think is not related to the liver. Depression or Anxiety as well as other physical issues that might be going on.
HUGS and Good luck!

First, I do not encourage drinking liquor at all..(in fact, I dont drink), but for your case; There might be an ingredient in the liquor that you are possibly allergic too. May I suggest speaking to your local Physician to see if you need allergy testing....it might behoove you to, to find out if you break out with a particular brand of vodka or do you break out with all vodka types and/or all alcoholic beverages....God Bless

drink in moderation. It's also entirely possible that you are allergic to something within a reasonably close proximity of a drinking area, or maybe the vodka itself. Gradually cut back and keep checking on your skin and then readjust accordingly.
