Although this is not a complete answer to your question I will post it anyway. It has something to do with the histamines in some alcohols. My Ear/Nose/Throat doctor told me this. I will get alot of sudden onset sinus congestion after drinking alcohol. It took me a while to figure it all out. It isn't all liquors, just some. I hope this will help. It will at least point you in the right direction. Mary Barker
