Alcohol can cause mast cell degranulation, resulting in release of histamine which can cause redness. Some alcohol, notably wine (esp. red wine) also contains histamine.

The red you are seeing is caused by the blood vessals in you eyes dialating.  Stop smoking pot.  Its not an escape; its a trap.  You can do better with a clear mind.  Believe in yourself.

It is important to note how long you have had this problem and how much bleeding occurs.  Light bleeding that appears as bright red to pink blood that is noticed on toilet tissue after wiping as well as some tenderness and irritation is probaby nothing to worry about.  This could be due to constipation and difficulty passing stools which causes tissue damage in the rectum and anas.  However, if the problem persists or worsens, you should see your physician.

The red color of blood is primarily due to oxygenated red cells.

if the fluid is red than it is alcohol. if the fluid is silver than it mercury. either way you probably did not get enough in your blood to hurt you. If you are still concerned contact poison control or a doctor.

I have heard that light red blood isn't so bad, but that dark red could be a problem.  Either way I would talk to your doctor for sure, to be on the safe side.

Try to breathe and not be nervous that will help the turning red...if you get nervous u pretty much can't stop the redness...so try to stop the nervousness

Urine us yellow because of the acid that is in it... The more yellow your urine is the more acid it has in it... So people who drink soda more than water tend to have more darker urine.... \n\nThe darker your urine is also tells you if you are dehydrated... It is only darker because you are peeing out more acid than water... so when your pee is clear it means you are taking in enough water that your body can spear extra to cleanse your bladder.

I did some research and it appears it might be the result of a medical condition: \nA group of disorders characterised by reddish-brown spots or patches. They are caused by the leakage of blood through the tiny capillaries the skin. Hence, it is also called capillaritis. The red colour is due to the blood pigment, haemosiderin. Exactly why the capillaries should become leaky is not known for certain but a hypersensitivity reaction to viral infection, food additives and medications have been cited. A type of pigmented purpuric dermatosis named Schamberg's disease (progressive pigmented purpura) \nSymptoms: Flat red brown patches with rust coloured spots that look like cayenne pepper on the outside. No itching caused.\n I hope this is helpful.

It doesn't turn red when it is exposed to oxygen.  It is red.  What you see through your skin is the color of the veins.\n\n\nIt turns out that hemoglobin has a red color to\nit and that oxygenated hemoglobin is bright red.  So in arteries blood\nappears to be bright red.  This is true inside and outside.  Outside of the\nbody the color actually fades a bit (becomes darker), because there is less\npressure to keep oxygen associated with the hemoglobin.  But if you cut an\nartery the blood squirting out will appear bright red.  Blood that is in\nveins, however, has very little oxygen associated with it and this yields a\ncolor that is much darker.  As you noted, because of having to look through\nthe skin at veins they actually take on a blue tint, but really the blood\ninside (and if you cut a vein) is just a deep shade of red.  You can also\nsee this in persons that have stopped breathing or have blood flow blocked\nto a specific area; they appear blue. (A condition referred to as cyanosis.)

Your brain is telling you to stop drinking alcohol & start drinking equal amounts of water!  You're dehydrated, which is easy for alcohol to cause.

Well I get palpitations and start going into panic mode when I drink it. I gave up on it a long time ago. It's full of the nastiest crap you could possibly put in your body. Drink redbull if you dont mind risking your life. You're better off drinking lots of alcholol. At least the effects are more long term.

Any exertion that would cause you to be red in the face.  Somethimes the blood vessels are weak and they can just snap.  It is rarely anything to worry about, but you should see a doctor just in case.

Just red, with no other symptoms? That is bizarre (MD here). Gotta suspect something vascular as the primary cause, but can't tell much given that we know nothing of your broader history (immediate and past).\n\nGood luck. If any redness begins to spread upward towards the armpit, especially if there are streaks of red going up your arm, and particularly if you develop a fever, then get your behind to your doc or your local ER, OK?

Are you putting alot of sugar in these drinks? If you aren't, get checked for Diabetes. Frequent thirst is a symptom.

Clear blood? That's funny.\n\nRed corpuscles carry oxygen and cause blood to be red. It doesn't turn red, it is red. When you have blood drawn it isn't exposed to outside oxygen and it is still red. Blood is exposed to oxygen every time you breath. If you don't breath, you turn blue. Run in a marathon, your face turns red. Simple as that.

You might be sensitive to some ingredient.\nI've seen people get hives, turn red and splotchy around the eyes, break into a sweat and get weak, etc after drinking even small amounts. These same people will have no adverse effects with a different drink on a different night.
