Jan 11, 2005: On December 3, 2003, I posted
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.

ok well i did some experiments. and i took one 20mg pepcid. then 30 mins later
i drank a full beer and took a shot of hennesy. well it shows that i didn't get red.
which was a good sign. then i tryed eating food. well it seems that while i was eating
i started to turn beat red. so this shows that if you do get "Asian Glow" its a good thing
to no eat. so this shows that when drinking, you should eat anything or don't eat anything before.
wait at least 3hrs to eat anything.
Hi everyone,
I'm 100% Chinese, male, i'm 18, about 190lb and 6'0ft. I'm one of the 50% Asian that get "Asian glow".
well i get really embarrassed sometime because my face gets super red. i read some fourm and hear that pepcid ac really works. like a month ago i took three 20 mg of pepcid and like 45 mins later started to drink. i had about 6 shots and didn't turn red which was very excited and happed. but then the next recent story was yesterday i had MickyDs (McDonalds) andi ordered 2 mc-chickens at about 5:00pm for a snack cause i was getting a bit hungry. and then i took about three 20 mg of pepcid AC at 9:00pm and started to drink at about 10:00ish and for some reason i still got the flush. my face was red and all that stuff. so then around 11:00 i decided so drink another pepcid. and that didn;t really do anything. i had about 11 beers. and couple shots of vodka. What went wrong? Why did i still turn red? i was just reading around and some people say to not eat and also take pepcid and that works.
