4. Alcohol
Drinking alcohol in excess is not good for your body. Not only does alcohol wreak havoc on your liver as well as your other organs, it can also cause you to have skin issues as well. There are some people that find that they are allergic to alcohol. This means that every time that they decide to indulge in a beverage that contains alcohol they find themselves breaking out into hives.
There may be a certain type of alcohol that causes the person to develop hives, such as beer or it may be all forms of alcoholic beverages. Many people who suffer from a gluten allergy will find that they get hives when they drink anything that contains gluten. If you are enjoying an occasional drink and break out into hives, try cutting alcohol out of your diet. This may be the cause of your symptoms.
