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.

I stumbled across this site the other day and immediately bought Pepcid AC max. Took two pills (40 mg total), waited 45 minutes, and had a glass of wine, which ordinarily would tomato-ize me. I had the rapid heartbeat that usually signals redness, and I felt warm and flushed. But I looked in the mirror and I looked normal! I didn't look like I was standing under an infrared bulb; it was all good.
I didn't get shitfaced drunk and only had a glass of wine, so I don't know how well it would work at, say, a night out with my K-town friends. But the initial experiment was great.
