  Whenever a friend of mine drink Alcohol, he seems to get rashes and turns red real quickly... Even if its like only after 2 bottles of jim bean cola.
  
  Does it mean that he is allergic to alcohol and cannot touch it again?
  
  Or is it just a matter of training? Drink more and it will be ok.?
  
  thanks

  Its an allergy, nothing to do with training. I have been drinking for many years and I have the same problem.

  stick to something simple like beer .... and stay away from exotic mixed drinks or cocktails ....
  
  I have no problem with beer, or some simple hard liquor (but I touch only beer nowadays anyways) ... but I get reactions to fancy mixed drinks and cocktails too ... including one time when i got hives all over my body so bad that I had to see a dermatologist and got a few shots up my ass ...

  It is really quite embarrasing to be out drinking with friends and suddenly getting rashes...
  
  Anyway to cure this? Or isit just have to build up the tolerance level.
  
  Bad luck for him then
