Hi.
As per your case history you are having urticaria.
It is actually not related to drinking.
My treatment advice is -
1. Food, drugs and body infections are the most common causes of urticaria.
2. Avoid foods with artificial color and preservatives. Also avoid dairy products.
3. Don't take any medications without advice of doctor.
4. Start an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily.

Continue treatment for at least 6 weeks for preventing relapse.

Thanks.
