Allergy to Augmentin means allergy to all penicillin based medications?

Not necessarily. Firstly, Augmentin is a combination of two different medicines: amoxicillin, which is related to penicillin, and clavulanate, which is not. You could conceivably be allergic to either one. Secondly, even if you have a reaction to amoxicillin, it might not necessarily be related to the penicillin-like part of the molecule. Or it could be a different type of reaction to amoxicillin, which has nothing to do with allergy. Fortunately, penicillin is one of the few medications for which there is an allergy test. I'd suggest you talk to a board certified allergist to discuss the details.

What is alcoholism addiction an allergies?

Although Alcoholics Anonymous speaks of alcohol allergy in the Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous), alcoholism is not actually an allergy.

Rather than being a rejection reaction by the immune system, alcohol addiction is an adaptation of the body -- principally the brain -- to the point of being unable to function efficiently without alcohol. This does not meet the medical definition of an allergy, but it was the best explanation they could come up with based on the medical knowledge of 75 years ago.

We would not, however, suggest arguing this point with your sponsor or other old-timers. In a practical sense, if we treat alcoholism as an allergic reaction to alcohol the effect will be the same -- alcoholics need to avoid alcohol.
