Who has that Asian Glow (alcohol related)
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090323/...cohol_flushing
Luckily I inherited my dad's alcoholistic Liver and I don't turn red when I drink and in addition I stopped drinking a month ago =P.
Turn a bit red when you drink a mere half bottle of beer? If you're of East Asian descent, consider that a warning: You may be at higher risk of alcohol-caused esophageal cancer. Researchers reported the link Monday in hopes of increasing awareness that the inherited flushing trait — found in about a third of people from Japan, China and Korea — offers valuable health information.

Yea i heard rumors about that one... Not too sure if poppin' Pepcid all the time for a normal drinker is safe. LoL
yea i start getting red after 1 beer, but no where near buzzed. i get it bad when i drink hard liquor. i dont care seems like u can get cancer from everything nowadays
yea........ i tried it, doesnt work. i've tried it an hr, 30 mins, 15 mins before, during, after drinking. it doesnt work for me. maybe it'll work for others. i still got like almost half a box of pecid ac left lol.

I get it too and pretty bad. I haven't tried pepcid ac. I always carry eye drop with me and if I know I'll be drinking at an event like a dinner party, wedding, etc. I'll drink before the event and get the severe flushing out of the way. Plus, it's another excuse to have a drink.

got the glow and have read this article before. personally i'm not going to worry about this at all. what's the point of living if being scared of getting the big C inhibits your life?
pepcid ac works for me.. i still glow but only around the eyes rather than bloodshot red where people think i'm about to die from alc poisoning.
