You're on a desert island, no way to get off, with 10 cases of liquor from your boat...

I recently became allergic to alcohol.
Thank you for bringing up that painful subject.

Technically not possible. Probably reacting to other ingredients/byproducts of fermentation if it is indeed an allergic reaction.

I know someone who claims to be allergic to ethanol. She works in a lab and said she tested herself after the doctor told her by spraying a bit of ethanol on her skin and sure enough she got a rash.

To get a true allergic reaction (a type I hypersensitivity) a molecule must bind IgE antibodies (and usually just in the variable region) and cause degranulation of mast cells and/or basophils. Ethanol can't do that, it's just too small, it won't bind specifically to IgE, it can't be presented in MHC class II, it diffuses through membranes etc. etc.

There might be other reactions happening (caused by ethanol), there might be congeners with the alcohol that cause an allergic reaction etc... but not a real type I hypersensitivity.

What about the alcohol dehydrognase (sp?)

I'll have a scotch on the rocks, please. Any scotch will do, as long as it's not a blend, of course. Single malt, Glen Livet, Glen Galley, perhaps, any glen will do.

I'll trade 5 cases for 5 oz.
But it would have to be scotch. Glenlivet would do nicely.

Normally I drink bourbon. But imparting logic to this conundrum I'd pick something that would mix well with the tropical fruits I'd be likely to find on an island and that means rum. So perhaps 4 cases of light rum, 4 cases of golden rum, 1 case of bourbon for straight sipping and a case of everclear for lighting signal fires.

Logic??? This is alcohol we're talking about!

Good scotch, surprise me with the brand.
