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.

Found this forum and it has literally saved my social life...
I've been taking 2-20mg tablets of Pepcid ac when I drink, so 40mg altogether and it has been incredible! Usually within 2 sips of any alcohol I'd start to turn pink with a half of a beer being the point where I use to get seriously red. There were times when I'd have a couple glasses of wine and my whole body would be red and radiating heat and my boyfriend would say "Oh my god, are you OK!" People would often tease me about how red I was and how ridiculously drunk I looked but I wasn't!
Now that is all behind me! I just turned 27 (woohoo!) and drank like a champion to celebrate! I had 3/4 bottle of wine and a vodka tonic that night and got happily drunk without the horrible redness/heat/intensity. I laughed and had an incredible time with my friends and had amazing (non-red) sex with my boyfriend...all in all, grrreat birthday.
$10.99 + tax for 20 tablets = WELL WORTH THE MONEY!
