Cannot Drink Alcohol anymore

[Ulfwald]

Ok, so last night I got in from work around Midnight. We had our company "potluck" dinner as well, and I drank lots of coke and tea, which means I was not going to sleep anytime soon. So to counter the effects of the caffine, I had a sprite with a couple of shots of amaretto mixed in. after a few minutes my face felt really hot, itchy, and really funny. My wife came in from the kitchen with me a little snack and just froze.........................

She looked at me funny and asked if I was feeling ok, I said for the most part I was, but my face felt funny. She got her little compact mirror from her handbag and showed me my face. It was swollen and red, and I mean rudolf the red nosed reindeer red, and I looked like I just lost all 10 rounds with Hollyfield. My eyes were becoming little slits, my nose turned stuffy, and i felt like my face was on fire.

Well, i wasn't sure what had caused it, so i drank some ice water and after about an hour, it settled down, so I drank some more sprite/amaretto, and it started happening again. So I quit the drinking and stayed strictly with the ice water.

Woke up this morning and felt fine, face back to normal, and I threw away what little amaretto I had left.

I called the Dr, and he basically told me to not drink ever again, because I now run the risk of having my throat close up on me, and dieing a very painfull and slow way.

So, Ulfwald cannot drink anymore.

Maybe it was just the Amaretto; it does taste like sh1t after all.

pwned by allergies

 

[AnitaPeterson]

If I remember correctly, Amareto has something to do with hazelnuts, so no wonder you got pwned, if you have any such allergy...

And then he woke up in some man's strange bed with a hangover with no pants on.

That's all you needed to say.

 

[Ulfwald]

So far i have no allergies that I know of, other than spring pollen in GA, and i am 37 years old. If i remember correctly, My face felt hot and flushed after a couple of beers on Monday as well.

 

[aplefka]

Try one more beer, and then it may be lights out for your alcohol days. That sucks man.

Since you're not a woman, the loss of amaretto will have only a positive effect on life.

 

[Anubis]

you could be allergic to ameretto, try drinking something else like vodka or rum

Sorry, Ulfwald don't play that game. But if you are interested, i am sure we could hook you up with jerboy.

Wow, that would kill me...

 

[ironcrotch]

Maybe its just the armaretto?

 

[Ulfwald]

I will try another beer tonight, if I start feeling weird again, then i will have to quit consuming the stuff.

 

[n0cmonkey]

Yeah, definitely be careful with that.

 

[Ulfwald]

Looks like it will be Bawls and softdrinks at the next LAN party. ((

 

[Balt]

If you can see an allergist and try to get it nailed down to something specific. Not being able to drink *any* alcohol would be bad.

Yah no kidding. The very thought has me petrified.

So, Ulfwald cannot drink anymore.

you had a severe alergic reaction to something.

You need to find out what that something was. Contact the guys at amaretto and get an ingredient list.
