A member asked:
When i drink alchohol i get a flushed face, neck and chest... i'm not asian, can i still get asian flush syndrome or is this something different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alcohol reaction: There are some people who can not drink a lot of alcohol because they lack the enzyme to break down the by products of the metabolism. This is what causes the flushing. There is not much you can do about this other than to avoid drinking it. Good luck.
