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.

Hi,
I've been doing a lot of research on this. Now I didn't start getting a red face until my second year at college, thats when I started noticing it. So I started taking pepcid ac an it worked. I ran out one night but still never got a red face without the pepcid ac. I never got a red face for about a month, then it started again. Thats the short version. I've been trying pepcid ac again but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm still experimenting on times though.
Anyway, I've been doing a lot of research on this. An I found out that alcohol causes vasodialation. Which means the blood vessels become relaxed an expand. There are different foods/drinks and other things that trigger this.
Ok heres the important part. There are food/drinks that cause Vasoconstriction. Which is the opposite of vasodialation. Caffine is an example.
Anyway, tomorrow i'm going to buy coffee and energy drinks. The first night Ill try just coffee with alcohol. The next time ill try energy drinks with alcohol.
Ill post the results when Im done.
