Abstract Medications that inhibit aldehyde dehydrogenase when coadministered with alcohol produce accumulation of acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde toxic effects are characterized by facial flushing, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia and hypotension, symptoms known as acetaldehyde syndrome, disulfiram-like reactions or antabuse effects. Severe and even fatal outcomes are reported. Besides the aversive drugs used in alcohol dependence disulfiram and cyanamide (carbimide), several other pharmaceutical agents are known to produce alcohol intolerance, such as certain anti-infectives, as cephalosporins, nitroimidazoles and furazolidone, dermatological preparations, as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus, as well as chlorpropamide and nilutamide. The reactions are also observed in some individuals after the simultaneous use of products containing alcohol and disulfiram-like reactions inducers.

  • Allergic and Asthmatic Reactions to Alcoholic Drinks
    Addiction Biology (2003) 8, 3 – 11 INVITED REVIEW Allergic and asthmatic reactions to alcoholic drinks HASSAN VALLY1,2,3 & PHILIP J. THOMPSON3 1Communicable Disease Control Branch, Department of Health, Western Australia, 2National Centre of Epidemiology and Population Health, Canberra, ACT, Australia and 3Asthma and Allergy Research Institute Inc. and the Cooperative Research Centre for Asthma, The University of Western Australia, Perth, Western Australia Abstract Alcoholic drinks are capable of triggering a wide range of allergic and allergic-like responses, including rhinitis, itching, facial swelling, headache, cough and asthma. Limited epidemiological data suggests that many individuals are affected and that sensitivities occur to a variety of drinks, including wine, beer and spirits. In surveys of asthmatics, over 40% reported the triggering of allergic or allergic-like symptoms following alcoholic drink consumption and 30 – 35% reported worsening of their asthma. Sensitivity to ethanol itself can play a role in triggering adverse responses, particularly in Asians, which is due mainly to a reduced capacity to metabolize acetaldehyde. In Caucasians, specific non-alcohol components are the main cause of sensitivities to alcoholic drinks. Allergic sensitivities to specific components of beer, spirits and distilled liquors have been described. Wine is clearly the most commonly reported trigger for adverse responses. Sensitivities to wine appear to be due mainly to pharmacological intolerances to specific components, such as biogenic amines and the sulphite additives. Histamine in wine has been associated with the triggering of a wide spectrum of adverse symptoms, including sneezing, rhinitis, itching, flushing, headache and asthma. The sulphite additives in wine have been associated with triggering asthmatic responses.

  • Alcoholic Tolerance, Drinking Behavior, and Alcohol- Related Health Disorders Among the Japanese
    〔日農 医 誌 40巻4号 917～929頁 1991.11〕 Original: Alcoholic Tolerance, Drinking Behavior, and Alcohol- related Health Disorders among the Japanese Tsuyoshi IMURA*, Akiyoshi BANDOH*, Norimi NISHIMURA*, Mikio ASAI*, Akiyoshi KAKUTANI*, Toshihiro ISHII*, Shigeki ISHIHARA*, Kazuhiro KAWANO* and Shigehito HAYASHI* In Japan there are many people who are intolerant to alcohol. Known as flushers, they do not genetically have low Km acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (AlDH2). Flushers are judged easily and accu- rately by the alcohol patch test. An ethanol patch test carried out on agricultural and fishing popula- tions in Japan showed that approx. 40% were deficient in AlDH2. A questionnaire survey of the drinking behavior of many people showed significant differences between the normal AlDH2 and AlDH2-deficient groups. The normal group drinks positively and actively, while the deficient group drinks negatively and passively. As a result, there were significant differences in subjective and objective symptoms that result from drinking between the two groups: More frequent hangovers, abnormal physical conditions and higher KAST scores were seen in the normal group, and health examination showed higher values in liver function tests, including ƒÁ-GTP, and higher levels of blood pressure, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), etc., in the normal AlDH2group. It may be very useful for prevention of alcohol-related health disorders to help Mongoloid peoples, such as the Japanese, recognize whether their AlDH2 is normal or deficient, which is as determined by the ethanol patch test.

  • Allergic Reactions to Alcohol ASCIA Education Resources Patient Information
    Allergic reactions to alcohol ASCIA Education Resources Patient Information In contrast to flushing, irritant and toxic reactions to alcohol, allergic reactions to alcohol are relatively uncommon. In people with alcohol allergy, as little as 1 ml of pure alcohol (equivalent to 10ml of wine or a mouthful of beer) is enough to provoke severe rashes, difficulty breathing, stomach cramps or collapse. Alcohol can also increase the likelihood of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) from other causes like food. Allergy tests to alcohol are usually negative The human body constantly produces small amounts of alcohol itself. Normal levels of 0.01 to 0.03 mg of alcohol/100 ml are contained in the blood. By contrast, a blood alcohol limit for driving of 0.05 per cent is equal to around 50 mg of alcohol/100 ml of blood. Since the human body produces alcohol itself, the reasons why some unlucky individuals develop allergic reactions when they drink alcohol is curious. Allergy tests using alcohol are usually negative, but are sometimes positive to breakdown products of ethanol such as acetaldehyde or acetic acid ("vinegar"). Flushing is not an allergic reaction Some people develop severe facial flushing if they drink small amounts of alcohol. This is not an allergic reaction and is most common in those with an Asian background. Other side effects may also occur, including fluttering of the heart (palpitations), feeling hot, headache, tummy discomfort or a drop in blood pressure are related to high blood acetaldehyde levels. Not all flushing is due to alcohol. Flushing can occur in skin conditions like rosacea, the menopause, low blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia), and sometimes as a response to some antibiotics or medicines used to treat diabetes or high blood fat levels.

  • Supporting Information Appendix Supplemental Literature
    Supporting Information Appendix Supplemental Literature Alcohol intolerance: Biological causes and consequences When alcohol is ingested into the human body, ethanol is metabolized producing acetaldehyde. This task is performed by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in the liver. Subsequently, acetaldehyde is metabolized to acetate. This process is largely carried out by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) (1). While acetate is harmless, acetaldehyde is toxic and causes facial flushing, nausea, and tachycardia, which are the main symptoms of the alcohol intolerance. The liver enzymes ADH and ALDH are polymorphic in humans (2). ADH2 and ALDH2 are common in East Asians, and the homozygote ADH21 is with high frequency mutated into the super active heterozygote ADH22, while the homozygote ALDH21 is mutated into the inactive heterozygote ALDH22, caused by the replacement of Glutamate (Glu) at position 487 with lysine (Lys) (3, 4). The high frequency of ADH22 in Asians causes their bodies to more quickly convert ethanol into acetaldehyde, while the ALDH22 dramatically decreases the speed at which acetaldehyde metabolizes into the harmless acetate. This is the reason for the high frequency of Asian flushing. Overall, about 36% of East Asians are intolerant to alcohol (5). It has been long known that alcohol intolerance influences drinking behavior and thus, for example, impacts the risk of developing alcoholism. Alcoholics exhibit significantly lower frequencies of the ADH22 and ALDH22 alleles than non-alcoholics (2). The genetic variation in both ADH and ALDH that causes the intolerance, as well as the resulting flushing reaction, accelerated heart rate, and nausea, act to discourage individuals from drinking. In turn, this reduces the risk of alcohol-related problems (6).
