Alcohol intolerance is a real and often underdiagnosed condition. It’s not the same as an alcohol allergy, but it can be just as serious. If you have alcohol intolerance, drinking even a small amount of alcohol can cause uncomfortable symptoms like flushing, headache, and nausea.

Unfortunately, many people with alcohol intolerance don’t know they have it until they have a reaction. And, since reactions can vary from person to person, it can be hard to diagnose.

Alcohol intolerance can be particularly problematic if you have developed a dependence on, or have be diagnosed with an addiction to alcohol, as repeated exposure to alcohol can make the symptoms more dangerous.

Do you ever wonder why some people can have a few drinks and stop while others can't seem to put down the bottle? Having a physical dependence on drinking alcohol is a serious and often misunderstood problem, but there is hope for those who want to stop.

Understanding the Jellinek Curve can help you or your loved one break their active addiction and change their drinking behavior to reclaim a healthier life.

If you’re addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, your first reflex is to go to a local rehab center to get treatment.

You might think, “That’s too costly!

Travel expenses plus rehab equals an empty bank account!”

This isn’t necessarily the case.

There are times when it’s actually cheaper to avail of inpatient rehab in another country even when you take into account the travel expenses.
