You are not allergic to alcohol. You might have whats called “Asian Blush” which basically means your capillaries(like veins and arteries) in your face are close to the surface and this causes your face to turn red when you drink. But you are not allergic to alcohol, that guy is wrong. He might have been trying to metaphorize though.
