What Causes A Sneezing Fit, Facial Warmth With Rashes After Alcohol Ingestion?

Have noticed recently that after drinking any kind of alcohol related drink, that I have sneezing fit, and my face warms and takes on a rash like appearance. Is this an onset to allergies and could these symptoms worsen or become lethal if continue to drink?

Dear User,
In my opinion you need to check if you are receiving a medication by name Disulfiram by any means because it causes a similar reaction with alcohol known as disulfiram reaction and this may lethal. So if I were to treat you I would have asked you to stop taking alcohol till the time we are sure that you are not receiving any such medication.
