Can anyone elaborate on the difference between being allergic to beer and alcohol, versus just there normal negative effects? (lemm.ee)

I feel like some beers just have such a terrible negative affect on me, that profoundly surpasses what most people meany when they dicuss the negative effects.

Whenever I try and look into it, I just see the standard "top ten hangover symptoms" or whatever.

It's increasingly hard to find useful information on the Internet.

Is there a difference? Or are we all allergic to alcohol and just the symptoms vary?

I used to always feel tired after drinking beer. I’d be going to sleep after 3-4 beers and glurking up foam - then it was like I had a hangover before I went to bed. I noticed that I felt more clear-headed with 5-6 cocktails, shots or glasses of wine than 3 beers.

It turned out this was because of celiac disease, so it was a reaction to the gluten in beer. So my question is do you mean just beer or all alcoholic drinks?
