A member asked:

Does alcohal cause allergy or headache?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not an allergy: I shouldn't say that since it is not 100% true, if you have a wheat allergy, then beer could be a problem. Still alcohol is a spontaneous contributor to vasodilation of blood vessels causing headache, nasal stuffiness, congestion, runny nose, etc.
