Alcohol intolerance is an inherited genetic disorder that interferes with the body’s ability to fully break down alcohol, leading to skin flushing, nausea, and abnormal heartbeats if alcohol is consumed.
Alcohol intolerance may be mistaken for allergies to a specific product in alcoholic beverages and vice versa, as allergies to alcoholic drinks can cause similar (but not identical) symptoms.
