a researcher friend of a friend of mine thinks alcohol can change your personality EVERY time you drink it ???? rosy cheeks & nose are usually signs alcohol on board, not sure, maybe a blood rush from the drink?

Getting flushed IS a normal after effect of drinking alcohol, for some people. I'm not sure why, but unfortunatly, I've (sadly) had a past history of alcohol abuse, so I know by personal experience and many, many years of drinking with others, that this IS normal.
Depending on what you are drinking and how much alcohol content is in the drinks, you can have a variety of reactions to the drink(s).
I've found that your mood plays a big part in how your body reacts.
You can get really buzzed and hyper and/or lightheaded, or you can getting tired and/or depressed after a few.
The important thing, I think, is to be aware of your physical effects and emotions as you begin to drink, and they can often give you insight as to how you will react to alcohol.
When I am happy, I know I have to remind myself to slow down when I'm drinking, because I will often get buzzed and not stop drinking, which leads to sickness, fights, or worse...
When I am depressed, I usually try not to drink at all, as it often makes me more depressed.
And when I'm tired, I am most definitely going to sleep after a few!!

So good luck

Well I'm allergic to red wine and I have similar side effects.
I also get this achey, firey sensation in my bones.
See if your parents are allergic to it. My parents are, that's why I am.



I recommend tequila. :)
