Do you know more about this condition? I am trying to find out why I get red marks all over my body drinking some alcoholic beverages...

Red wine allergies and allergies to some of the stuff in cheaper beers like Honey Brown are common.

I've been told taking niacin will fix this?

I thought niacin would only make you more red... I know that taking anti acid before drinking helps with the redness though.

Knew a kid allergic to a certain red dye in some candies that turned him red. Sounds like you're allergic to a certain kind of alcohol.

No... they literally just have a defect and lack a gene that slows the metabolism of alcohol.

Kinda if you're part Asian. Been told I've turned red a few times I've drank.

This is super fucking interesting, thank you. I wonder if my Irish heritage gave me any special enzymes!

dunno if alcoholism runs in ur family. genes make us resistant to early effects, so we keep on. some don't get hangovers, so they don't quit
