A member asked:
Is it possible to develop nasal allergies to whiskey or bourbon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: When allergies develop, it is usually to large protein molecules. Whisky is mostly alcohol and water- both very small molecules. Alcohol can cause nasal symptoms like sneezing and congestion via non-allergic mechanisms, however.
