 Posted: 03/17/05 - 03:00 Post subject: Asian flush from too much drinking? |
  |
|
Few months ago I had my first alcoholic drink. It was nothing sensational. I expected to feel “something” but I only felt heat and my heart suddenly started to beat faster. Several days after that I went for a drink with my friends and same thing happened to me. Then I visited my doctor. He said I’m plugged with the “Asian flush”. He advised me not to drink any more. I decided to find out more about Asian flush. Is there a way to drink and still stay “cool” in this situation?

I’m also plugged with “Asian flush” or so called “Red face”. I did my own research and now I drink without becoming so flushed. My suggestion to you is to increase sugar intake while you drinking. Nevertheless, I’m using fructose instead of sugar, but sugar also can help. When I found out I’m plugged with “Asian flush”, at first place, I tried to use aspirin to prevent flushing. That idea turned out very bad. Just to make things clear: don’t ever take medications while (or before) you drinking. You should also try to eat something starchy while you drinking.

Ahh.. i read about this a few weeks back. my girlfriend often gets the flushing in the face and she happens to be more oriental asian. i'm eurasian but half south east asian, so i believe that is why i dont suffer from this.
the study i read stated that sino-nipponese asians often flush red in the face. i've forgotten why exactly but korean, japanese and chinese people are the most susceptible to it. |

Hey,
This is a fairly common issue amongst those of oriental decent. It's actually due do an overactive protein (enzyme) in your body. It's a genetically mutated enzyme in Asians. It causes orientals to succumb to the more toxic effects of alcohol such as; confusion, lack of co-ordination, lack of inhibition, and flushing.
There is actually nothing you can do about this except possibly maintain a cold environment and maybe ice the area. |
