might be strange...

I am beginning to realise that since ive had asthma when i drink alcohol (even just 1 small drink, such as half a glass of wine ) the next day my breathing isnt right, feel a tightness and a bit light headed.

does anybody else get that with asthma? i thought it maybe food allergies but beginning to link it with alcohol (possibly sulphites in wine?)

Is it red wine? the Tannins in red wine cause me problems.

And yes Sulphites do cause problems too.

It is indeed red wine, ah yes you might be on to something, thanks for that kate! ;0)

I had a severe reaction after JD and coke and some from vodca.... now givewn up!

I can't drink red wine without getting wheezy I had not realised it was tannins though.

Kate, do different wines have different levels in the same way as sulphites?
