Allergic Reaction to Alcohol?

The last couple time i have drank alcohol, particularily vodka I experience extreme sore throat and loss of voice the next day. I dont feel any irritation during consumption but I wake up the next day with no voice and my throat feels swollen. This usually last up to three days. Could my vocal chords possibly be having a reaction to the alchohol?

This does not sound like an allergic reaction, however you can get really dehydrated when drinking alcohol. Try drinking several cups of water before consuming alcohol and see if that helps.
