Abstract
A case of alcoholic beverage sensitivity is described which presented as acute bronchospasm. Such reactions in asthmatics are not uncommon, though their severity may be underestimated in the presence of intoxication. Indeed, such patients may be dismissed as suffering only from the effects of intoxication with obvious consequences.
