Migraines. I started getting a savage headache if I drink more than about 50ml of it. The pain created an aversion very quickly.

Unsurprisingly but not exactly obvious when I first read about it, alcohol addiction is strongly correlated with alcohol tolerance. I have come to understand intolerances like yours as protection mechanisms of the body (not a scientific claim!)

I suspect my neurologist would agree with you (if I could afford her time.)
