Anyone else have sinus problems from alcohol, especially beer?

[Descartes]

Whenever I drink alcohol my ears start ringing, my sinuses become inflamed, and I generally feel very poor afterwards. I had a couple of St. Pauli Dark beers on Saturday during the OU/OSU game, and afterwards I came down with a horrible sinus headache, congestion, etc.

Anyone else experience this? My only thought is that the bacteria/yeast in the beer exacerbated an already present sinus infection.

Thanks.

Nope. I love it.

You might be lightly allergic to alcohol or something.

You should take 30 shots in a row to test this theory.

The only issue I've ever had was after a hard night of drinking, my nose will dry out to the point of bleeding. Largely because of dehyrdration.

If I have any sort of sinus problems, it's more because of inhaling massive amounts of smoke at the bar than anything.
