Why does this always happen to me when i drink wine?

Question

Everytime i drink a little wine, i get a huge headache and feel like c**p.

Whats happening?

Answer 1

it could be the preservatives in wine.

try preservative free wine.

if you are in australia, happs has a preservative free wine so does hardys.



i have heard of somthing like a capsule that neautralises the preservative, i dont know much about this though

Answer 2

Wine has sugar and alcohol in it which dehydrates the body and gives headaches.

Regular alcohol lacks the sugar content so you don't get dehydrated as quickly.

Try consuming wine coolers mixed with tonic water to have both the sugar content and alcohol content diluted.  Tonic water doesn't have the added sugar that a wine cooler with 7-up would have.  So try tonic water.

Also, you can drink other fluids before, during or after consuming wine but avoid the sugary ones.

Always drink alot water before going to bed to avoid a hangover in the a.m.

It's just dehydration is all it is.

Red wine has many benefits.

Anyone that is susceptible to alcoholism or otherwise acts irrationally while intoxicated should avoid alcohol.

Answer 3

Some tips could help you :

  

                 - try to adopt red instead of white or vice-versa

                 - don't mix both -

                 - when you drink always have something to eat

                 - more than two glasses are generally considered

                   as a treshold -

Answer 4

People have different tolerance levels for alchohol.  You probably have a very low tolerance for it and get drunk easily.  

Stop drinking or keep on drinking if you want.  Your tolerance for alcohol will increase in time and you won't feel sick so easily.

Answer 5

I love wine,especially rose however on my first glass,all my arms and shoulders go numb.once i have that first glass it goes.its weird.try drinking the first glass quick,it may bypass the headache

Answer 6

you may be allergic to something in it, and suggestion, DON'T DRINK IT if that is what happens.

Answer 7

Yeah, it's the tannins.  Gives you a serotonin rush that causes the headache.

Answer 8

You probably have a problem with Tannin.

Answer 9

Have a look here - apparently its to do with sulphur dioxide (but mainly over consumption!! :))

Answer 10

Some wines have sulfites in them...these are used to stimulate the aging process..primarily for cheaper or bulk wines for quick distribution...allergies can often occur or you may find the stimulation of blood vessels from wine is a factor. You may not find this happens to you with all wines...all processes are different...as with champagne.  It has always given me a headache, though I can drink any other wine without problem...body chemistry differs.

Answer 11

shes the only one in our family.

perhaps youre allergic to it?
