Are you Asian? A flushed face while drinking (just a little bit) is particularly common among Asians. It's caused by an inactive enzyme, which helps with the metabolism of alcohol. Since your body isn't breaking it down properly, you are experiencing a symptom of drinking "too much." Apparently it's also common in people of Jewish descent.

you not the only one that has this problem.
Is it wine or all Alcohol? Alcohol intolerance - may cause flushing after only a single alcoholic drink. You are probably just allergic to it... Hey you can have a good time with out it anyway... But try a different kind of drink there are many different kinds like potato vodka different grains and alot ot time it happens to people who drink wine...
