Itchy soles and alcohol

@Ccoday Said

Hey i was looking up additional info and came across this conversation. I am 36. In my early 20s, the next day after id been drinking the whole right or the whole left side of my body ached. Horribly. In my late 20s early 30s, i noticed when i drank my feet would itch. It quickly moved to my ankles and lower legs. Id scractch in my sleep so bad id bleed and wouldnt know it till mornin. Now, after even a sip, my legs break out in hives and its the most excruciating feeling cz short of benedryl and benedryl cream theres nothin to do but wait. The hives reaction happend today for the first time. It is an allergy. Not sure to what, but i drink kendal jackson chardonay, crown, and capt morgan, vodka. All high end. And it happens w each one...oh and tequilla...i read years ago was a systemic reaction. But im sayin im just full blown allergic to alcohol. It scared me today. I was in tears and was begging for a hospital to make the itching stop. 1/2 glass of wine. All it took. I was an hr from home ...if u hv these symptoms, i suggest no drinking. Only cz i thought it was fine and that i knew my body. Todsy was new, scary, and the end of all alcohol for me. Be careful always keep benedryl on u and maybe check into an epi pen

Alcohol has strange effects on people.

On some people it gives them itchy feet, on others, it gives them the ability to fly from the top of an eight story building, just like an angel, on others it leaves them flattened dead at the foot of an eight story building.

Alcohol is strange stuff.

Personally I can't mix alcohol with anything with caffeine in it without it making my arms feel like they are on fire. Because I am certainly addicted to caffeine and possibly addicted to alcohol it means I tend to keep a bucket full of cold water near me at all times.

Are you being serious about that last bit? It's hard to tell with you at times.

@jmo Said

Somewhat serious. My arms seem to hurt when I drink coffee when I've been drinking alcohol. Not all the time, but occasionally. It's odd but apparently my dad is the same.

Thanks! Now I'll be checking to see if my feet itch when I drink.

Hope it's nothing major!

I've noticed each time I drink anything alcoholic, 3 drinks tops at the most, the soles of my feet get very itchy.

Anyone else ever hear of this? Is this an indication of something?
It only happens when I drink alcoholic drinks; Never candy, cakes, or anything else sugary.

I have the same issue when I drink alcohol. Sometimes the itching starts with just one drink, but often it takes two drinks for the itchy sensation to start. Just my feet are affected. Because only my feet are affected I am pretty sure it is not an allergic reaction.
