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.

buy pepcid from Amazon.com.

Suggestion for new topic: Health problems resulting from continued drinking despite acetaldehyde accumulation
Background: I have sorrows concerning my health because - as we know - when we drink alcohol there is much more carcinogenic acetaldehyde accumulated in our bodies compared to normal alcohol drinkers. For example, the chance to suffer from esophageal cancer seems to be 6 to 10 times higher (!!) for us than for normal drinkers (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_flush_reaction, second paragraph). When we take Pepcid then everything seems normal again, but in the background all the time the acetaldehyde affects our bodies and maybe causes cancer someday. We should discuss about that, I think.
