I am very new here. I found out about Asian Flush from my 24 year old son! He had been out with friends & there was a young lady of Asian decent at the establishment where they went. She was seated at the bar & drinking a soft drink. He asked her why sit at the bar & have a soft drink & she explained that she had what was called "Asian Flush"! 1 drink would make her seriously ill.. He then questioned her a little further. Here is a little family back ground My father is 1/2 Chinese, myself a 1/4 & my Sons 1/8. After speaking with the nice informative young lady, the next day he told me about why his arms turn scarlet red! If he would have never said anything I would not know about Asian Flush, I am a very light drinker, I never liked the side effects - Racing heart, getting hot all of a sudden, & chest pressure. Therefore since I did not like these feelings I just refrained from drinking alcohol.. I am thankful that the young lady was forthcoming with the info she gave my son.. We have noticed lately that he is getting this weird looking rash after drinking - I also think it depends on what type of alcohol he drinks that gives him different symptoms.. At least we now have an idea what is going on...  I ran across this sight looking for information, I am finding it informative..
