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 have the same problem...but it only happens sometimes.
i drink now and then with my friends, and this has never happened before until one night after taking a small drink of wine. When i drink it usually does not happen, but sometimes it just burns a little under my eyes. The night after the first tiem it happened i drank again and i didnt get it. Then the night after that i drank one more time, and i did. So what's the deal? do i only get this sometimes, or is it developing.... is it maybe stronger with some drinks? I am not asian and have no asian in my blood. No one in my family has this. Is it safe to take pepcid before drinking? isnt it bad to mix medication and alcohol...? This problem is so embarassing and i have a special event coming up soon!! Help!!!
