I have the same problem.  \n\nUsually the alcohol isn't the problem.  It may be what additives are in.  Things such as yeast, corn, eggs, molds and sulfites can affect you.  Try drinking something different and see if it still happens.  Then compare the ingredients.\n\nIt also depends on the temperature and what you've been doing previously.  You may not be allergic to alcohol, but your surroundings might trigger something.

some people just have very poor tolerance for alcohol, or you may have an allergy to it.

Could very well be a yeast infection. This grows on skin in dark moist areas frequently. Try this. Always wash well, and dry the area very well. Wear a bra to keep them from lying directly on your skin. Buy an antifungal cream like Lotrimin or any good ointment meant for vaginal yeast infections, and apply it to the area three times a day, after gently washing and drying again. If you have a blow dryer (for hair) using that to dry the area works really well. (at low setting and hold it far enough away you don't burn yourself). If the blotches clear up, you'll know it was a yeast overgrowth, which it very likely is. It's normal for yeast to grow on the skin, but sometimes it goes out of control and causes problems like this, in dark and moist areas. Good luck to you.

No, you only breathed a little vapour in, you didn't injest any, most went onto the skin.  You don't have to worry about anything.  The bottle is warning people who drink rubbing alcohol as if it were scotch or vodka.  Unfortunately some people who are very addicted to alcohol have tried to do so and have died as a result.  Rubbing alcohol is poisonous when drunk directly through the stomach.   Other people try to get high by breathing vapours for over twenty minutes or more constantly to get high.  You can be hurt if you do this as well.  This is what the warning on the bottle is referring to.  Rubbing alcohol is perfectly safe when used to disinfect wounds., your liver can handle the small amount you breathed in easily.

My sister gets that way. It's broken capillaries that cause the red dots. The pressure  or force of vomiting can break the capillaries in the face.

if the fluid is red than it is alcohol. if the fluid is silver than it mercury. either way you probably did not get enough in your blood to hurt you. If you are still concerned contact poison control or a doctor.

I had a friend with this...same area...I believe it s called a portwine stain...I think it is just capillaries close to the skin.\n\nDefinition:\nA port-wine stain is a vascular (containing vessels) birthmark made of enlarged capillaries in the skin, which produce a reddish-purplish discoloration of the skin.\n\nAlternative Names:\nNevus flammeus \nCauses, incidence, and risk factors:\nPort-wine stains (PWS) are present at birth. The rate is 3 out of 1,000 people. Port-wine stains occur most often on the face but can appear anywhere on the body. Early stains are usually flat and pink in appearance. As the child matures, the color may deepen to a dark red or purplish color.

As a result of peripheral vasodilation (widening of small blood vessels) the face becomes flushed and the drinker will feel warm, although in fact a greater amount of body heat is lost.\n\nThis is really dangerous in cold weather situations, where people think alcohol will keep them warm.  Yes, they will have an immediate sensation of being warm but it actually lowers the body's core temperature and can lead to hypothermia.

Oh my gosh, you mean there are others? Are you a pretty pale person like me? I get it a lot. I can get it from really hot (heat hot, not spicy hot) foods too - like soup.  I get it from wine sometimes too. Everyone asks me why my nose turns red.  The dermatologist just said it was blood vessels and due to my skin being so light, it looks a lot more prominent. I find that if I keep very well hydrated, it is a little less extreme.  So glad to know someone else has that problem too!

Yep, too much alcohol consumption will pickle your liver, cause cirrhosis and in turn cause jaundice. You do have to be a very heavy drinker for a fairly long period of time for this to happen, unless your liver is already compromised and unhealthy.

Alcohol is flammable and pouring alcohol inside a hot alcohol lamp may char those beautiful eyebrows you had justdone offa you face like it never existed....

It may be something you just never knew about, and always had. I have them, or something similar, on my arms. They look like blisters, and if I pick at them they either don't do anything or they bleed. \n\nThis is something that I've always had, and my mother said I had them as a baby. I also have eczyma, but the dermatologist says it has nothing to do with that, that this is just part of my skin, and there is nothing wrong with it, but it will always be there. Kinda frustrating. \n\nTalk to a dermatologist. They can tell you if it's a natural problem with your skin, or something like an allergic reaction to soap, sunscreen lotion, laundry detergent, or even changed chemicals in water.

your body is trying to compensate for the loss of nutrients caused by the alcohol
