After drinking beer i have red rashes in my skin?

Acetaldehyde: Sounds like you may lack one of the enzymes involved in the processing of alcohol. This leads to an excess of acetaldehyde which causes flushing. This is often seen in those of asian descent. Could also be related to an allergy, but less likely.
