Jan 11, 2005: On December 3, 2003, I posted
a message in my web journal about the Asian Blush, which quickly resulted in over 100 very-informative comments. This forum is intended to be an information source for those of us looking for information about why we turn red when we drink alcohol.

well, the weird thing about this is... niacin makes me turn red... so it would be pretty counter-productive for me to take it. it also makes me feel flushed and dizzy.
wow, i can't believe i'm the first "may-may" here...
for those of you who say that the asian glow is cute and healthy, you obviously don't know what it's like. some of you say you turn pink... try having your face and other body parts turn PURPLE. rash and hives also come sometimes. for this, i basically never drink.
i also get a burning, itching feeling in my crotch area... it's an internal thing, so it's even more uncomfortable. does this happen to other girls? or even guys?
anyway.. this thread has been extrememly helpful and educational, thanks everyone... i'm looking forward to trying it out and i really hope it works :)
