I was chugging a heinekin earlier tonight, and whilst doing this, my throat started to feel really wierd/closing up (but it wasn't), and then after i had chugged it, it felt like i had to burp/explode and i ran and puked in a toilet. Ive never been much of a beer drinker, but this is the first time thats ever happened, is it possible to be allergic to beer?

Yes you can be allergic to beer. It is not the alcohol but rather the ingredients. Usually with beer it is a barley allergy. If you are only reacting to one specific brand it could be an added ingredient used by that brand only.
If this has only happened once, it could that you had a bug or something.

Yes , and since it is giving you unpleasant reactions probably best to avoid a more serious reaction. No one will think the less of you if you just decline and say "sorry I'm allergic"

Umm... if you do not drink much beer normally, then it might just be a normal thing with your body taking in so much alcohol at once. The easiest way to resolve this problem is to drink more beer, as the pain goes away after a few hundred bottles.
Bottoms up,

Its possible there is an ingredient in Heineken that does that to you but more likely you were a little sick already and the alcohol just amplified it.
