Face flushing , red eyes after one drink
I am a 39 year old male, from the past few months I observed that while having one sip of alcohol it causes red face , red eyes and rapid heart rate. This seems the first time that has happened to me as I have been drinking for almost 10 years never such symptoms occurred.
I have a slim body , go for running and exercise regularly. I did my full medical check , everything is right , as vegetarian which resulted in b12 deficiency, so I had few b12 shots. Right now I just stopped as it's causing more worry rather than pleasure.
I read on web that it's something alcohol intolerance or asian flushing but don't know why it's happening now.
Any advice or might be some allergy developed which is causing it.

Some flushing can be expected but severe flushing red eyes seems to be due to brand issue, you have allergy to particular brand
