A member asked:

What are the usual symptoms of alcohol intolerance, and can you tell right away if you have it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You'll know...: If you have alcohol intolerance you get flushed, nasal congestion, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and hives. The reaction happens right away. Some people get only a few of these symptoms, others get all. The only way to not get symptoms is to not drink alcohol.
