Alcohol intolerance or allergic reaction

2018-08-22 09:13:57
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. This happened to be a month ago when I had alcohol for the first time. I had hives or red patches all over my body and they were really itchy. I thought I was having an allergic reaction so I stopped drinking. I went to a party last night and had 2 drinks (twisted tea). Now my body is not warm but literally over heating. It’s so hot but I get shivers when I am not under a blanket like I have a flu or something. The red patches all over my skin are back.
