Alcohol and Hives; many people do not realize
that these
two are connected. Though it might sound outlandish, alcohol
and hives are linked. Actually, drinking alcohol, which contains
ethanol, can trigger hives
itchy rash in patients suffering from hives. These patients
should consult a qualified doctor and seek advice as to whether
they should ingest alcohol, and if it will affect their skin problems.
One of the most commonly opted for treatments is the intake of
antihistamine. As its name suggests, antihistamine nullifies the effect
of histamine, which is released by the mast cells as a result of stress
or allergic process. Unfortunately, antihistamine medication does not
control the actual underlying causes of histamine release. Therefore,
you feel better only when you take antihistamine for the time being,
and the condition may reappear.
Hives Alcohol
The anaphylactic reactions to drinking alcohol are not
very common. Moreover, most reactions to ingested alcoholic beverages
are less important to other chemicals in the beverage, such as papain,
metabisulfite, or even yeast. However, in a few cases, there are
reports of true allergic reactions in which the stimulating agent was
shown to be the ethanol (present in the alcohol), resulting in hives.
Mostly, the indications of anaphylaxis appear in such patients
following the ingestion of beer or wine. Many people have had the
problem of hives rashes with ethanol ingestion. However, there are only
a few known cases in which hives was triggered due to contact with
ethanol.
Hives after Drinking Alcohol
Patients that are already suffering from hives must be
careful with their drinking habits because hives can be triggered after
drinking alcohol. It is wise to consult a doctor and get his advice
regarding how often and how much liquor you can safely ingest.
