Does anyone elses face get all red when drinking?

Question

Is there anything I can do about it? I have a little to drink and everyone thinks I'm drunk.

Answer 1

Yep. The asian blush. Or the asian glow. Some people have it worse than others. Maximum strength Pepcid AC works for me. I usually take two 20mg tablets anywhere from 15 to 30 mins before I drink. Works great. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

theres not really much you can do. sorry. At least for now. Your body will remain that way, it's very common with redheads who are pale, but after some weight loss your body will rush blood to your face much less. Cut down on calories, keep working out and you'll notice that blood won't rush in your face as much.

Answer 3

Chances are you're Asian, and it's just hereditary. I've heard that taking a Pepcid AC before drinking helps you not turn as red. Never tried it though. Good luck!

Answer 4

Some people call it the Irish sunburn. It has something to do with blood pressure.

Answer 5

Who cares what people think, you're suppose to be having good time when you drink.

Answer 6

it happens to me, and i'm not asian or irish. i read somewhere that people with sensitive skin turn red-ish when they drink, something to do with a mild allergic reaction?

Answer 7

I get all red too, but your actions , behaviour should be a gauge of your inebriatedness.

Answer 8

Especially the ears!!

Answer 9

I get a lazy eye lol

Answer 10

Many Japanese, Chinese, Koreans... no, you can't really change it.
