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.

Hi Axe
I'm the same as you. I'm European with no Asian background, Irish/Scotish ancestry (can't get whiter than that!!) Somtimes when i drink i get hot red patches on my face and neck, it's never an even red so i get quite embaressed. Generally it happens when i've been drinking the night before (day two on a weekend session) or if i'm begining to come down with a cold/upset stomach. But i've also had it ramdonly when i've had just one drink in a week.
I feel your pain, it's so annoying to not know when it will strike. But i think the general theme is that when your body is weak (ie hungover/sick) it's more likley to strike.
How many other people from celtic backgrounds have this?
