SC - sulfa and sulfites

You hit the nail on the head yourself, oh-fellow-migraine-sufferer! Tis 
totally idiosyncratic. You sound like me...I can drink like a fish as 
long as I stay away from red wine, brandy, dark beer, whiskey and most 
homebrews. What do these things have in common? Tannins. Either by being 
aged in oak, or by the products used in them. Turns out most cheap swilly 
american beer uses lots of rice, which means low or no tannins.

Funny how many SCA folks get migraines...seems rather disproportional.
