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.

Thanks Jay, I tried Zantac Extra Strength 2 hours prior to having the 1st drink (heineken). Seems to do a good job. I then had another x3 beers within the hour. In the 2nd hour started getting rosy cheeks and at the back of my neck. However, didn't turn into the ripe tomato color that could have been! Didn't seem to affect my consumption of alcohol though. If anything, I could now drink more as I no longer had breathing problems, veins ready to explode, red eye etc...
I'II try the pepcid stuff over the w/e and let you all know. Giddy Up :)
Great forum!!! Finally maybe, some answers to my prayers.
I'm keen to get stuck into these pepcid things but I have one question. How do you go about getting pepcid in australia if you require pescription??
