Hey, guys. I've created a forum for discussion, so we don't have to use this space anymore. Here's the URL:

I tried using Maximum Strength Pepcid AC (20mg). I took one pill 2 hours before drinking. It worked remarkably well. I had 1 beer, 2 gin and tonics, 1 Seagrams 7 with Coke, and 1 Bloody Mary. Toward the last drink I did start to see some redness, but that's much more than I would ordinarily have consumbed before becoming beet red.

The next day I tried using Tagamet (2 pills) and they didn't seem to work nearly as well as the Pepcid AC. I only had 2 drinks and experienced the old familiar symptoms: flushed face, rapid heartbeat, some dizziness. Although I've only tried each once, my early tests seem to indicate that Pepcid AC works better than Tagamet. Your results may vary. ;-)

it is very important to remind you guys that approximately 75% of all people that had esophagus cancer last year in Japan are ASIAN FLUSH positive!

Several studies conducted even in american universities showed that the ACETYLDEHYDE metabolised by the body and that is not broken by our asian enzymes, is the main cause for that.

All I want to warn you all is that, taking Pepcid Ac, Tagamet, or Aspirin, might leave you without the redness and the rapid heart, but actually let those carcinogen bastards floating on our blood.

And for those of you who are encouraged to drink more when taking these drugs, and even those who insist in drinking the same your fellow white/black friends do, Remember:

WE ARE JUST NOT SUPPOSED TO DRINK.
DRINK IT AND DIE OR FACE THE REALITY AS A MAN AND GO PARTY AS AN ASIAN HAS TO: WILD, BUT ALCOHOL FREE!

The strangest thing: whenever I drink vodka gimlets: 1 part vodka, 1 1/2 parts lime juice, dash of sugar – I don’t get the asian glow. Normally, 1/2 a beer will get me beet red, and I don’t know what it is thats making me normal. Fructose? Citric acid?

To: Westside23 – Yes, I think that would be a good idea. I think others would be interested in this as well. Go for it!

I’m interested in anyone’s experience using Tagamet (Cimetidine) vs. Pepcid AC (Famotidine). I read a couple of articles e.g. http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic455.htm which suggest that Cimetidine is perhaps more effective than Famotidine, but may increase the intoxication levels mentioned in previous posts. Just search Google for Cimetidine and Asian Flush and you’ll see references.

After reading all the posts here, I decided to purchase both Tagamet and Pepcid AC and plan on doing my own tests. I’ve been struggling with this for many years and have always been hoping for a “cure”. I wonder if anyone else has or is willing to try the comparison of Tagamet to Pepcid AC. I’ll let you know how it goes!

I think this forum is great and the more candid people are with their experiences, the better everyone will be.
