A member asked:

How come when i drink alcohol do my feet get hot and tingle?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Alcohol Allergy: It sounds like you have an allergy to ethanol (alcohol) and it would be wise not to drink. This is not normal and I am sorry to say there is little to tell you other than it may be best not to drink.
