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.

Hello-
I saw this post a few months ago and after talking to my friend who tried this, he said that he stopped taking Pepcid AC because he started throwing up blood. It scared me at first, but he must have been taking like 4 tablets a day. I decided that 1 a day wouldnt be harmful because people do it all the time that have chronic heartburn and they drink on it as well. Anyway, I take 1 about an hour before i drink and it works! If I take it on my first drink, it usually takes 30 min to kick in.
My other question is, does anyone on this forum have eczema as well? And do you notice the effects of the eczema flaring up on the spots MORE when you drink? I feel like if my skin is broken out, the alcohol will immediately become blotchy in those spots, verses when my skin is clearer.
Let me know, thanks!
