I dont drink much alcohol as I used to feel ill - similar to flu symptoms

Yep - alcohol is a poison and some people can't tolerate it at all.

Your body it telling you not to drink it.

the thing is it has'nt always affected me like this.

Hi fruitsalad, My guess would be that you are allergic to something in the drink as the symtoms are very like one
gets with hay fever or some other forms of allergy. I have an allergy to lanolin found in certain soaps and washing powders and it took me years to sus out what it was. If i'm right it will get worse before it gets better if you don't do something about it now. Depends on what you drink but
it is probably one or more of the addatives that go into the drink. Try changing your brew until you find something that doesn't effect you like that.

Could still be an allergy as it is possible to develop allergies that you never had before.
