The allergy in those who suffer from alcohol-ISM is the fact that those individuals who consume alcohol do not digest at the same rate as a,'normal social drinker' e.g. approx. 1oz per hour, this causes a build up of acetone, which is in the body and is used to breakdown the carbohydrates in the alcohol sending messages to the brain for more of the stuff! This starts the vicious cycle, usually leading to oblivion, what happens along the way, as those who have swuffered this illnes will testify, varies, if you're lucky you get to wake up, if your not. . . . ..
Acetone also destroys tissue e.g. the liver and pancreas, e.g. cirrohsis of the liver, Errol Flynn and David Niven, who drank heavily called their shared home, 'Cirrohsis by the Sea'. Just thought I'd throw that in. On top of these facts you also have to take into account, the aging factor, you get older you don't eat or drink the same, those raw red hot peppers that youm used to gnaw on as a teenager don't go down so good when you get older, ask Bill Cosby, its in his book on growing older.
