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 everyone!!
It's written that one of the asian blush symptoms is facial flushing. My face turns red shortly after I drink (no matter what: beer, wine, rum, vodka, pisco...), but I've noticed that is not just my face but my whole body which turns red, and there are white spots on my chest, belly, back & legs :s
(It's funny to see pople's faces when I show them the spots on my belly skin)
And another weird thing: I feel cold, even with a warm-blushed face!! Who said that drinking can kill coldness??
Well... have you guys ever seen someone with the symptoms I have??
(I haven't, but -despite my origin, I don't know too many asian people)
