Mess Of A Dreamer

When I was much younger, in my early teens, I had some peppermint schnopps (my dad let me try it, about a shot's worth) and I had an allergic reaction - I didn't feel weird, but I broke out in hives and had to take Benadryl. Ever since, I'm paranoid that I'm going to have a bad reaction to other liquors. When I drink, if I don't go very, very slowly, my nose and the mask of my face start to tingle and go a bit numb. (This doesn't happen with beer or wine.)
I don't drink to get drunk, I never have, but there are a whole host of drinks I would love to try if it seemed that this was a fairly normal response and not the beginnings of an allergic reaction. The doctor's suggestion, when I inquired, was to either not drink at all or just try things and see what happens, but I would like some opinions before picking an option.
For the record, amount-wise, we're talking a drink or less; there is absolutely no impairment when the other symptoms occur.
