Alcohol makes me a a prick, kinda like being sick, but I make everyone else around me uncomfortable, rather than myself.
I get by with a little help from my friends.
I met in my travels quite a few people with allergic reactions to alcohol.
I met them in the rooms, one guy developed the same symptoms as you later in life.
It may even be a blessing in disguise. I am an ex drunk. Technically still a drunk I guess. I got some time sober though.
Alot of people cannot take one sip and put it down. I wish I caught that reaction, an immediate destruction of my body, would be easier to comprehend than the slow painless one most drunks endure.
