How can asians prevent the glow after drinking alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asian flush reaction: Many asians have genetic mutations in their ability to process alcohol. The "glow" you speak of, relates to a buildup of acetaldehyde which can be toxic in large quantities. It indicates the toxin has built up enough to cause the body to try to get rid of it through sweat -- or vomiting in extreme cases. One must stop drinking & let the body metabolize the alcohol that's already present.
