H2 Blockers (Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac, Axid) (Page 11 of 52)

I have a juice machine and I mix 3carrots, 1bananas, 5strawberries, daily vitamans, some salt,and the cheershangover pill. I drink it 6 times a day before going out to drink. It works! No redness, headaches, pounding heart and I can get waisted.

I'm a Norwegian with no asian blood who get the flush pretty bad every now and then when drinking.
I thought drinking a lot of water helped (but maybe i'm wrong?).
I'm definitely going to try pepcid, but whats this link with cancer? What kind of cancer am I more likely to get?
Does my drinking behaviour affect my "odds"? Will zyrtec or pepcid affect?
Thanx!

Oh yea! GUEST 7 haha
Your question uhhh. Just by a damn juice machine their like cheap as hell.  Then just by a bottle or 12 pack of beer start mixing fruits and veges. Then start drinking both the alcohol and shakes toghter.  FOr me I had to add the vitamn pills and salt water to make the shake work.  Plus its healthy. It took me a while to get the formula correct.  Like spicy veges fuked me up, and so did hydrocicut.  I've been drinking this shake for about 3 months, and I drink every weekend.  It almost makes you feel like you don't have it anymore.

Maybe someone can help me out.

I take Pepcid AC and it works

but my question is...

does your body build a tolerance for it?

Later on will i be needing to take more tablets then i do now?

I've noticed that claritin does attenuate flushing if taken several hours earlier in the day. But will try pepcid alone and  in concert with the claritin.  Because of the flush, I turned to drugs as it was much fun'r than turning red and having that speedy feeling like you're gonna od on coke -- plus acid is really cheaper and longer lasting and better for you. You dont destroy your liver with acid and you're dealing with mics not even mils, yeah. But now my red faced asian brethren (and the norweigan dude too), since my md friends have failed miserably to alter my liver to stimulate it to produce more of the enzyme we so desperately crave, I will pop those pepcids, wait the required hour, and begin drinkin agin. But remember, if you are totally hammered on marijuana, claritin, sudafed, valium, and acid, well you don't really give a crap who is there because it's the music that is important. Really don't be so self conscious -- there's probably a psychological component to your flushing too you know. In other words, wave your freak flag high and red you liquor lovin drunks. If you don't want to drink because of getting red, try pretending you are an alcoholic -- say things like, "well controlled drinkin isn't in the big book". Guaranteed to kill eveyone's buzz and curiously attract a lot of weird girls too. Alright where's my jack pepsi?

I don't know if this was mentioned since this thread is so huge.  For me, having a hearty meal before drinking helps as the food can absorb the alcohol to slow the blushing.  I find cheese to be a very good absorbent (i.e. on a pizza, mac and cheese).  Pasta also seems to work pretty good.  As long as you're not slamming your drinks, you can delay the blushing by your 2nd or 3rd drink.

I've used Claritin as well at least a couple of hours before drinking.  It seems to help some because of the antihistamines.

Seems a lot of people find Pepcid works very well.  I might give that a shot.

ok lets all get a poll on ethnicities here.  they say this affects most southeast asians, so let's get a feel for the board.  i'll start, i'm vietnamese.

Wow,  discovered this thread after "google-ing" for flush face from alcohol. Im 33 years old and have been turning red after drinking since I was a teenager. I took one Pecid AC Max last night about an hour after eating and about 30 minutes before drinking a 3/4 bottle of wine. Normaly this would turn me into a "cooked" lobster but instead I only turned  slighty pink with a warm glow, not hot. I was amazed at how great it felt to drink and look and feel normal. Pepcid definitely works wonders. I wish I knew this 15 years ago! Tonight I will drink beer and post the results. Thank you all for your posts and happy drinking for all!

Since my last post went unnoticed by the previous two posters, I'd like to reiterate that it might be interesting to cull some data on the ethnicities on the board.  They say that this seems to affect mostly Souteast Asians, I'd like to see if that is a fair reflection from visitors of this forum.

I'm of Chinese descent, 100%.  I don't think this is a Southeast Asian phenomenon.  There are some Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans that turn beet red after the first drink.

Pepcid worked for me a couple of times and has now stoped working ,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the red face is back ! and my god the thumping head !!

I'm going to give up !!!!

Alcohol brings out the worst in people anyway !!!

take a pill instead ;-)
