Experienced alcohol poisoning or allergy?
Last night when we left Ate Kengk’s hotel, Gab, Ambo, Malen and I headed to Metrowalk to talk and drink. Discussions turned onto the topic of alcohol poisoning and we shared our experiences about it.
The worst alcohol poisoning or allergy I had experienced happened last year during my birthday. I had celebrated my birthday with some friends at Pier One and drank a bit of hard liquor. After a couple of hours sleep, I went back to Batangas since our family was waiting for me to celebrate it and I drank some more with my friends and neighbors. Shortly after we finished the tequila bottle, I felt feverish and took a shower before I slept. Dad woke me up around 3 am because I was having chills. Since I know I drank too much, I decided to tough it out and I did a lot of water therapy and peeing. To make matters worse, my whole body was red and bloated. The redness was very itchy and it stings. That lasted for two weeks. I haven’t drank much since then. These days when I do drink at some events, I only take a bottle and I stop.
I read some information before that Asians are more prone to it than other nationalities. I do have a high tolerance to alcohol that’s why I was surprised that I had those allergic reactions back then. Maybe its the whiskey and tequila that did it. I never did experience allergic reactions when I drank wine or beer.
