Today as it was new years, I had one can of cider, but before i even finished it, my face got very painful and almost numb. It didnt appear any worse, but it was was very bad particularly around patches of bad acne. I know youre not supposed to drink but i have heard its ok every now and again. Im on 40mg daily for the last 2 months roughly. Is this normal?

Face pain is pretty unusual. I'm no doctor, but I don't think that such a reaction is normal. I have been pretty poor in my decision making regarding drinking on accutane, and I haven't felt any difference either during or after consumption. It hasn't even made me feel hungover, let alone pain while drinking. If it happens again, I would ask your doctor about it, but I wouldn't be too concerned about it. I have a friend whose face goes completely numb after drinking and he isn't on accutane.
