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 all
I just want to report back here. I visited this site a while back and looked into many of the options available, but I ended up trying something that is hardly being discussed on here...possibly because it's new, I don't know.
Anyway, I Googled around and found a natural supplement called AF Formula. I've been on it for 27 days and just tested my reaction to alcohol last night when at a work function - and I can report NO BLUSHING!
I felt a bit of warmth in my face, but there was absolutely no blushing or blotching. It is such an improvement for me because I used to go bright red in the face and get blotching around my neck and upper body. If all I have to put up with is a bit of warmth that I can feel, but no one can see - I am a very happy with the results! I kept going into the bathroom after each drink to check and was pretty darned amazed that I wasn't blushing. It is literally the first time in my life that I haven't blushed when I drank alcohol.
I wholeheartedly recommend AF Formula...it definitely lives up to what they promise on their site.

@Naf: My sister gets that reaction. Luckily I only get the redness and a bit of blotching...throwing up would be annoying.
It seems they are trying to sell an anti-hangover product and also label it as an Asian glow cure. Anyone else experienced any results with these shots?
It's strange that it's not in the news more. Most of my caucasian friends didn't even know the problem existed. They were just assuming that if someone went red, it was because they were embarrassed about something. Lol...
You'd think that after all those years of evolution, we'd have changed enough to get rid of this thing. I've been trying antacids lately and they are okay, but inconvenient when there are impromptu drinks with friends or co workers. I went to a meeting with a client a few weeks ago and it was just supposed to be coffee, but the client's wife ordered wine and then my client suggested I have one. I should have gone to the bathroom and popped an antacid, but didn't and I went red...ahhh!
I don't know about getting the genetic test done. I mean, it seems like I already have it, so what's point?
