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.

could you drink before though?
hey i reAd that ru 21 does what we are missing
In simple terms, when you put alcohol in to your body an enzyme is produced which turns alcohol in to Acetaldehyde (a toxic byproduct which is processed through the liver)
Taking RU-21 when you drink stops the body producing this enzyme...
No nasty enzyme means no Acetaldehyde... No toxins means no nasty morning after...
Rather than taking products to ease the pain the following morning, covering up the symptoms
DO YOU THINK IT WORKKKS? =D

hey all.. can some1 please tell me how to reduce the pounding head and heavy thick hard breathing + da red face .. but i know that da pills do that but which one works the best to reduce the other effects??
sorry i didnt see the part were you said it fades after a while hehe.. i will test it out soon and get back to you all
Hey KMan
merry christmas to you too and hapy new years :P
just wondering does the pinkness fade after a while or what?? i still feel a slight minor thumping to my head and stuffy breathing but not as much... does this happen to you?? or anyone?
and i also feel dizzy and stuffy and hot and get a really irritating feeling.. like i just want to crawl up and die lol.. and i can actually feel a beat on my head and it is so unpleasent..
ohh.. i think i might be a homozygotes which really sucks.. i end up vomiting after da 2-3rd bottle.. i tryed drinking 1 5% drink n i felt sooo unwell.. like i wanted to vomit.. and i do after a another on.. i tryed the zantac + claratyne combo.. with red wine because that was the only thing we had and it tasted soo yuk!!! but anyways i drank probly half a glass and i was pink after 20-30mins .. surprising i wasnt as red and i usually would turn which is red red red red everywhere especially on my face.. i just had really pink cheeks.. which would be all good at a darkish party.. maybe i should try with another drink which i will enjoy?? or what?? do you think that the 1st glass would make me pink but after it will be fine??? can anyone with the same gene help me out lol
hey i was just wondering.. how do you know if you have that "homO gene" or the other one ??? lol.. sorry dont mean to offend anyone.. .im sure you understand what i am trying to say
hey everybody
(this is refering to zantac + claratyne) so if your at a 6 hr or longer party n you just drink in between the 1st 3-4 hour mark.. and stop drinking after that.. in anytime after that mark will you still be clear of da flush but drunk.. or will you have the flush coming back?? should i take more pills just to stop the flush to come back or will i be fine??? sorry for asking so much. i cant get any pepcid where im from so im trying to use what ever is most easily accessable
im meaning for zantac+ the other stuff
they i was just wondering.. if the effect only last for 3 hours.. what am i suppose 2 do if i am out to a dinner or party that lasts for 5-6 hours or longer?!!!
hey all
does anyone know if you can buy famo or pepcid in dutyfrees??? or in fiji or rarotonga??
