Do you know that uncomfortable feeling after drinking alcohol? You’re not alone! Many people experience unpleasant reactions after consuming alcohol, and the culprit might be something called histamine. 

Why Alcohol Doesn’t Always Agree with Us 

Histamine is a naturally occurring compound found in our bodies and in certain foods and beverages. While it plays a vital role in our immune system, high histamine levels can trigger uncomfortable reactions like flushing, congestion, and digestive distress. Fermented foods and alcoholic drinks are notorious for containing high amounts of histamine. 

Alcoholic beverages often contain histamine due to the fermentation process. Here’s the science behind it: 

• Yeast and Histamine Production: During fermentation, yeast converts sugars into alcohol. As a byproduct of this process, yeast can also release histamine. 
• The Aging Effect: Over time, histamine levels in alcoholic drinks can increase. This is particularly true for red wine. Red wine grapes contain histamine in their skins, and the longer fermentation with skin contact allows more histamine to be extracted into the wine. 

But how does histamine translate into those uncomfortable after-effects you might experience? 

• Impact on the gut: Alcohol can disrupt the integrity of your gut lining, creating tiny leaks. This allows more histamine—from both your drink and your food—to enter your bloodstream more easily, overwhelming your system. 
• The DAO Downturn: Alcohol liberates histamine in the gut and depresses histamine degradation by inhibiting the body’s own DiAmine Oxidase (DAO), the enzyme that degrades dietary histamine. With less DAO working effectively, your body struggles to manage the increased histamine load, leading to unpleasant reactions like flushing, congestion, and digestive distress.
