R u sure you don't have an intolerance to yeast or something in the alcohol? I have a friend who is allergic to some sort of preservative that occurs naturally in most alcohol and many foods. Her specialist said that some people think they are getting the flu when their body is just having reactions to something they are consuming. Many allergies also develop during teenage years due to changes in the body.

I might be wrong but it can't hurt to check it out. Also alcohol dehydrates, and beer in particular makes you urinate heaps so you would probably be low in vitamins anyhow, then if you smoke on top of that you are just asking for chest infections and the like. Are you drinking enough water and eating enough fruits and vege's.

Bloody hell every post of mine tonite has been so mummy. Some one shoot me now.....please?
