Why do you itch when you drink wine?

Answer 1

Alcohol dilates the blood vessel in the skin. Every time you have a drink, the blood vessels will dilate and remain permanently dilated until they lose their tone. Excessive drinking will lead to the development of telangiectasias or chronic dilation of the capillaries and a permanent flush on the face.

Another effect of drinking alcohol is "blood-sludging" where the red blood cells clump together causing the small blood vessels to plug up, starve the tissues of oxygen, and cause cell death. With this increased pressure, capillaries break, create red eyes in the morning, or the red, blotchy skin seen on the heavy drinker's face

Answer 2

There are several reasons you get headaches, you may have drunk to excess, a common cause of headaches. Wine as with any alcohol dehydrates the body, dehydration causes headaches.
