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.

Is there any negative side effects of taking pepcid before drinking? and what is with this cancer thing with people that turn red? I actually tried it out also yesterday and it worked VERY well for me too. My ears were the first to get red... but then nothing really changed other than at the end of the night i was just a LITTLE pink... Usually when i drink 2 beers i turn beet red.. but nothing this time. I had 2 jack&cokes... probably 3-4 beers and a redbull&vodka.
Hey guys i just discovered this forum and i love it.... glad to know i'm not the only one that has this major problem. I discovered i had this problem about 2 yrs ago and i have kept my drinking to almost nothing now, because of the redness. I turn REALLY splotchy in the face and my body, and that has been keeping me from drinking socially... which is a shame. I'm not exactly sure if i read it right... but people that DO turn red have a higher chance for cancer? It seems like everyone takes pepcid but is that the best choice, and how many pills do you guys recommend? Thanks guys....
