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.

Thank goodness for that I thought i was a european freak! Im English with welsh blood and have this blush thing develop last year, started with one and then spread to all drinks. Ive read that if you drink when you have it it makes you 10 times more likely to get cancer of the esophagus which is lethal in a couple of years. Have any of you guys tried the 7.2 alkaline stuff or anything else that works? Im off to the doctor tomorrow to see what he makes of it and ill post any feedback, this just wont do, it wont do at all!!!
Hey guys, got a question a starnge one im hoping some of you may be able to help me with. Im 32 from Britain, no chinese, japanese etc heritage, yet last year I developed Asian blush/flush. Ive been drinking all my life but for some reason it started a about year ago and has spread to all different types of drinks now whereas at the start it was only one type of beer. Has anyone ever heard of this? all the research ive done suggests that it is inherited and yet no one in my family has this or like i said is asian. Super confused, any help or advice or knowledge shared would be appreciated.
