title_body: What causes my stuffy nose after drinking alcohol?
upvoted_answer: I'll keep it simple. All three of those alcoholic drinks have something different in them. You said wine and booze don't do it very much yet beer makes you stuffy. Hops are very well know to cause stuffiness and allergic reaction. It could be more than hops, it could be something to do with malt. You might try less hopped beers so a Helles Lager vs an IPA and see if one makes you more or less stuffy. Most people have an allergic reaction to the histamines in wine, which causes flushing of the face and neck and nasal congestion. 
  
  You could take an anti-histamine (Zyrtec or Benadryl) before you drink and see if that helps.
