Read on to find out what surely worked for me to rid this problem "without" pepcid ac
I read a few discussions on this topic and would like to put in my two cents...
I am asian and I also have the same problem...I tend to get extremely red and hot and bothered....sometimes even blotchy and irritated...boy is it embarrassing...I work at a bar and so I tend to drink here and there..but its so embarassing..I had to cake on a paler color makeup...which sucked!
Here's what I came up with.
I used to think maybe I'm allergic to alcohol and can't drink...
But here goes...in different incidents
On a full stomach....I can't drink at all
Redness ..not the normal red or pink cheeks..no....I'm talkin red like beet red.! Yikes!....laziness...and harded breathing...when I only drank half a beer! Lol I felt awful!
Ate lightly...while drinkin or before drinkin...
Same thing...just seemed to happen again and again
and now 3 hours after eating..
Still red and just kept drinkin and tried to ignore the asian flush symtoms and then when I drank more...it went away...and I became pale...but at this point I was drunk and didn't care anyways.lol
But still I didn't wanna drink "it" away...
Everytime...why does this happen I thot..how come I can't drink without turning red...?! But then......!!!
Then came one day...I had came home from work and got ready to go out...I didn't barely eat that day cause work was real busy...so I actually had an empty stomach...meaning...I felt hungry...
But still I went straight to drinkin with friends..and becuz I was hungry I drank and felt the hunger go away and I had the best time drinkin..felt good...and no redness at all...no throwing up..which I never do anyways...
I really hoped this works for someone...cuz I be drinking at least 3 times a week now..
And I never get red anymore!
