Thanks for the info on this great site and thread!! As others have noted, I'm a full Asian male and have had this reaction since I started drinking alcohol over 10years ago. At first, I would get quite red from even a half beer. Through the years, I would only get it if I when drinking at a bar with the intent of getting drunk. If I had a beer or two with dinner, it would be hardly noticible.

I just tried Pepcid ac max this past weekend and it worked great. I took it after dinner about 30mins before going out on a night of binge drinking. I can tell you that I felt and saw pretty much no redness at all, as we went out for a friends bday and pictures were taken throughout the night. I can also say that my tolerance went up, so it took me more drinks to get me drunk. On a high note, I also didn't feel a bad hangover the day after like I sometimes do. Oh, and one of the nights I only took 1 pill instead of two and it seemed to do the trick for me, so I may stick to one 20mg per night.

Thanks again for the great info!!!!
