Bottoms up: Yes you are! well, if not alcohol then something else in what you are drinking or something else you do when you drink. Stop drinking, try club soda with a lime. See an allergist if it continues to worsen. Good luck.

Alcohol hives: You are probably allergic to what type of alcohol or what is in the alcoholic drink. You should not drink alcohol until you discover what you are allergic to, as the next reaction may be more serious or lethal. See an allergist asap.
