Why do i get random rash/hives when drinking alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergic reaction: Hives are a sign of allergic reaction to a substance ingested or inhaled usually. Alcohol contains many substances so it might be difficult to determine which component of the drink is causing the allergy.
