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.

That Pepsid AC stuff really works. I recommend going for at least two pills of the MAX instead of the standard, although it probably depends on how bad your flush is.
Plus, I have the same question as some other people. Since Pepcid AC seems to get rid of a lot of the flush, does that mean it is actually breaking down alcohol normally so that the increased risks of cancer for Asian flushies wouldn't apply? Or do the higher rates of cancer still apply regardless of Pepcid AC or not, in people who normally have Asian flush?
Thanks.
