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.

Hello everyone. Since I found this forum about a year ago, I've been taking pepcid AC 20mg every time I go out to drink. Sometimes 4-5 times a week, sometimes once a fortnight. I usually take 2 tablets about 30mins beforehand. It takes away around 50% of my redness but I'm starting to think it makes me really tired? Alot of the times, I would struggle to stay awake after a few drinks......anyone else got this side effect?
And also, I try to avoid bars that are too warm and stuffy, and I usually drink slowlyish.
Another thing is, I've always tried to have a big fat dinner before I go out as I thought drinking on an empty stomach gets you wasted....but after reading abit more on this forum today, I think maybe I took the wrong approach. I'm going to try eating really little beforehand if I'm going to drink, I'll be back with results.
yeah, dont go crazy with the drinks, and having a soft drink between alcoholic drinks is really good, especially in this heat :-D
try to pace urself :-D
Hello everybody, im new to this forum and after havin read the posts, i've began taking PepcidTwo (the only uk version available). I pop 2 around half an hour before i drink and it takes away 90% of my redness. Its only 10mg, i might try to get my hands on some stronger versions on ebay, i'll post my results.
The problem is i've always drank regularly and now i'm popping 2 pepcid tablets roughly 4 or 5 times a week....and i'm starting to worry about this increased cancer risk. But after thinking about it, the truth is, everyone has a risk of cancer and its all to do with luck (or bad luck) at the end of the day, many ppl with a perfectly healthy past has developed cancer before right?
I guess the best solution is to be wary because spotting cancer early is a lifesaver.
Ok my rant is over, pepcid is brilliant, keep us updated,
take it easy,
