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 just looked at the box and it said not to take two tablets at one time - they are 20 mg each, pepcid ac max - i'm worried that it can be harmful.
i'm excited to try the pepcid ac max - my college aged son recommended that i use benedryl, which i have been doing for about two years - and it works well but it makes me drunk and tired quickly, maybe he is trying to get a hold of an inheritance early by killing off my liver! i'm not asian but i really do get flushed on my chest, upper arms and face - it's not a good thing. i will write to let you know how it goes, i'll probably have a couple of beers and then a couple glasses of red wine - the only other thing that i really like is spicy bloody mary's, which i will try another time - and i'll let you know how they go, too. i'm german, polish, irish, english, danish and psycho (just kidding about the psycho part)! i'm going to look for a picture when i've been drinking and post it, too!
