Adverse reaction: Some people have an adverse reaction to specific chemical substances, and alcohol is no different. You most likely are simply experiencing an adverse reaction to the alcohol. Unfortunately, you should listen to your body, and avoid alcohol to avoid these side effects. Best wishes.
