what percent of asians have the blush?

i've found that it's more than just alcohol.  certain beers and wine do not make me blush at all while others do me in, so there must be something about the ingredients of drinks (i.e., tannins and sulfites and what not).

anothing thing i've found is that blushing is just one of my symptoms.  i also get tachycardic (racing heart), tachypneic (fast respiratory rate), and pruritic (itchy).

go figure.

im full. i get all those symptoms. but thank goodness for pepcid ac! it helps a little.
but yea, some drinks definately have a stronger flushing effect than others.

down to alcohol.  i get the flushing and headaches from 1..1!!! beer. so i said fu@# it one day and just got stoned.  no adverse reaction to that. just good`ol mellow stoner.  wish there was a artifical alcohol or something, but you have what you aint got. so get stoned!

im half japanese and than like half european. yeah i get red as shit and then i get a really bad headache. and its around 50% of all asians have the redness. and also a lot of native americans

50% of asians seems to be a rough estimate according to what i have read.  Also a smaller percentage of those from middle eastern origin.

I am very new here. I found out about Asian Flush from my 24 year old son! He had been out with friends & there was a young lady of Asian decent at the establishment where they went. She was seated at the bar & drinking a soft drink. He asked her why sit at the bar & have a soft drink & she explained that she had what was called "Asian Flush"! 1 drink would make her seriously ill.. He then questioned her a little further. Here is a little family back ground My father is 1/2 Chinese, myself a 1/4 & my Sons 1/8. After speaking with the nice informative young lady, the next day he told me about why his arms turn scarlet red! If he would have never said anything I would not know about Asian Flush, I am a very light drinker, I never liked the side effects - Racing heart, getting hot all of a sudden, & chest pressure. Therefore since I did not like these feelings I just refrained from drinking alcohol.. I am thankful that the young lady was forthcoming with the info she gave my son.. We have noticed lately that he is getting this weird looking rash after drinking - I also think it depends on what type of alcohol he drinks that gives him different symptoms.. At least we now have an idea what is going on...  I ran across this sight looking for information, I am finding it informative..
