This is just my screen name still hoping matulungan nyo padin po ako. Meron po akong allergy but not sure kung allery o intolerance. This happen 2 years ago after ko uminom ng birthday ko as in naparami pag gising ko makati na ang buong katawan ko yung pantal sa katawan. Nilagyan ko una ng suka no effect nung naisipan ko uminom ng anti-hestamine baka allergy unti unti nawala then na observe ko tuwing umiinom ako nagkakaron ako ng reaction sa katawan kung gaano karami ako uminom ng alak ganon kalakas ung effect sa katawan ko kung kaunti wala naman pag medyo napaparami na una namamanhid kamay then ayan na pag tumagal or kinabukasan pag gising ko ang kati na ng katawan ko at anti-hestamine lang ang nagpapatnggal ng sa tinign ko ay allergy. At pag meron na kong allergy pag nahahanginan ako sobrang kati at parang dumadami, kaya need ko umiwas sa electricfan o mahanginan ng malakas. Anyone any idea ? Hindi ko po alam kung Alcohol Allergy, Intolerance or ung ibang nabasa ko. Thanks po Happy New year.

It can be either or both as both conditions present with relatively the same symptoms.
Bottomline is, you have to refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages to prevent such reactions. Maaring magkarokn ng pagkakataon na ang reaction mo ay maging sobrang lala na ito ay maging life-threatening
