Am i'm at a high risk for getting esophagus cancer if i get the asian glow?should i give up alcohol entirely?

Yes don't drink: People who consume alcohol have higher incidence of esophageal cancer , asian glow is due to a different reason, when alcohol is consumed , it is metabolized to acetaldehyde then to harm less acetate, the enzyme needed for this is lacking , or rapidly destroyed in some asians , resulting accumulation of acetaldehyde , causes the flush f face.
