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.

Hey there. I tried Acetium and that didn't seem to work. I flushed really red as normal. Then I tried Vitalx (Alcotox), and that didn't seem to work either, however, it delayed the flushing for about 15 minutes, but then I flushed really red as if I hadn't taken any pills. I'm going to try Acetium/Vitalx in combination with Zantac next.
Just an update to let you know I figured out how to order Acetium :D
Does anybody know how I can get Pepcid (Famotidine) in the UK? I can't find it in any drugstore. I can only find Zantac (Ranatidine) and Claratyn (Loratadine). Do I need a prescription for Pepcid? If so, what should I say to my doctor? Do I just tell them that I have heartburn and would like to try something different from Zantac?
BEWARE. This is the e-mail I got after paying for Alcotox.
"Thank you for your recent order, which has been shipped today. The Alcotox brand is now for sale only to non UK, international customers, as the website notice states. For the UK we have the Vital x brand and have therefore shipped the Vital x replacement. The formulation is the same.
For best results take 1 capsule before drinking, 1 capsule per drink and 1 afterwards. This is to keep with the production and removal of the alcohol toxin acetaldehyde in real time."
It's a bit misleading really... They put the Alcotox product for sale with the currency in £ (currency of the UK), yet they are not supplying Alcotox to the UK. And I never noticed any writing at the bottom of the page when I placed the order. I swear it was never there before. Jerks.
Hey I'm new to this forum. Is anyone else from the UK? I just ordered some alcotox. I'm also trying to order acetium, but can't figure out how to make the payment
