Am I allergic to alcohol?

Question

After I drink like one wine cooler, my muscles get really sore, like as if I'm walking uphill or something. Anyone know what could be wrong?

Answer 1

It is not possible to be allergic to alcohol, at least in a strict medical sense.  It is possible that you're more sensitive to alcohol.  If you're especially petite, it could be an actual reaction to the alcohol--alcohol dehydrates, which can cause muscle aches.  More likely, however, it's in your head, either because you're more aware than most people of changes in your body, or because you expect something to happen and trigger a psychosomatic episode.

Answer 2

No, your body is probably not use to it yet.

Answer 3

I get that after a long day and a drink.  If you are anything like me you will notice after the first drink the pain slowly goes away you feel super relaxed, It's actually your muscles relaxing, you should try going to a massage therapist or doing yoga.
