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.

Friday night, went to wedding, took 1 Pepcid AC Extra Strength about 1 hour before drinking. Started with and stayed with Vodka. Was drinking Madras (sp?) all night. Actually, this worked great! I didn't turn red at all. Usually, just like everyone else i've read, the redness starts immediately. Even fast with wine. And hotter or somethin.
But, I'm 39 yrs. old and 'the glow' isn't so cute anymore. I just wanted to have a drink or more, without announcing to the whole world that 'HEY - SOMETHINGS GOIN' ON HERE'!
I didn't want to get OVERLY excited by this because, as I've read on here, your body builds a resistance to this? But, will try this next time too. And will stay with Madras. I really like the drink anyway!
