I have recently started drinking occasionally. After drinking, my face becomes red. I also feel burning sensation in my chest after having a drink. In the very next morning, I also feel soreness in my chest, when I touch it. Do I have low tolerance for alcohol? What to do?

Alcohol causes vasodilatation, that means a kind of accumulation of blood in peripheral blood vessels. That may cause flushing, red face etc. Burning sensation in chest could be due to gastritis i. E. Increased acid production in stomach in response to alcohol.
