Sulfite Sensitivity: Sulfite sensitivity can develop by people. Beer, wine and cider may contain sulfites. Whiskey does not, but the mixers used to make mixed drinks may contain sulfites, especially drinks with dry citrus, such as sour mixers. Reactions can range from mild nasal/sinus reactions to more severe including wheezing and difficulty breathing.

TANNIN: TANNIN Is a possibility Hope this helps Dr Z

There isn't anything: common to ALL these beverages besides alcohol. Sounds to me like you are drinking too much, especially for someone your age. Alcohol is far more harmful, particularly in excess, to young people whose brains have not yet completely matured, and is more likely to cause damage. Your symptoms suggest allergic polyposis, which is worsened by aspirin, NSAIDs and sometimes alcohol. Talk to your doctor.
