Question:

I drank alcohol,why did i have "rashes"?

I drank a white russian cocktail ( milk,vodka,kahlua)
and turned red and i looked like i had a rash. I also have increased heartbeat...

Why did this happen?!

I have drunk vodka and other stuff and this has NEVER happened before! So why did it this time?

The "rash" went away an hour or so later...
