Answer 3

Face Gets Red When Drinking

Answer 4

Bloodshot eyes occur when the tiny blood vessels on the surface of the eye become inflamed in response to insufficient amounts of oxygen in the cornea or tissues covering the eyes. Eyes can also appear swollen, watery and tired-looking. Bloodshot eyes can occur in adults and children and are often attributed to poor sleep, allergies or an underlying problem. *alcohol*

Rest the eyes by closing them and relaxing for at least 20 minutes. Placing a cool, wet rag over the eyes is also helpful, especially if the bloodshot eyes are caused by overworking them. Do not rub the eyes to prevent further damage. Always wear UV protected sunglasses when outside. Rinse the eyes with cool sterile water or use eye drops to soothe the eyes. Eat a healthy diet to ensure good eye health.

Basically rest them after drinking and carry some visine :)

Good luck

Answer 6

I don't drink so much anymore, but when I used to I would turn red too. Depending on the type of alcohol, usually wine coolers, I would get tightness or pain in my shoulders and then my face would turn red. (I'm Asian too)

I found an article that is pretty interesting:

The Biology Behind the Red Face

Well, now you can have a better understanding of the biological mechanisms behind the Asian Flush and also have some ammunition to fight off drink pushers. The Asian Flush is a casual term that describes the body’s inability to break down alcohol. According to metabolism researcher John Tyburski, Ph.D, MPH, to properly process alcohol, the body undergoes a two–step process that involves two enzymes: alcohol dehydrogenase, responsible for converting alcohol to acetaldehyde, and aldehyde dehydrogenase.


According to Dr. Tyburski, who earned his Ph.D in physiology and cell biology, “aldehyde dehydrogenase, when functional, is responsible for converting acetaldehyde into acetic acid.” However, cursed individuals can only perform the first step because their aldehyde dehydrogenase does not work optimally. The result is an accumulation of acetaldehyde, which is highly toxic.

Because it cannot be broken down, it builds up in the body and causes the flushing and eventually more serious effects, such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Another important factor that Dr. Tyburski points out: When drinking, beware of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in some pain relievers. “The result is the conversion of these drugs into harmful intermediates that can injure the liver,” he states. Thus, it is generally considered risky to take Tylenol after heavy drinking. This is true for all individuals, cursed or not.

The Asian Flush is a result of a genetic mutation (you are not only cursed, but you are a cursed mutant, too), which you have gotten from your mother, father or both. However, it does not mean that all your brothers and sisters would necessarily have it. Sometimes, only one member of the family has problems processing alcohol (aren’t you special?). Also, the symptoms vary in time, quantity, and severity from one person to another because every body processes alcohol differently. You may have a beet red face and heart palpitations after a full glass of beer, but your best friend may have a rosy face and headaches after only three sips. There is really nothing you can do to prevent these symptoms. Alcohol tolerance is genetic. There is no clinically proven, safe, or effective way to change how your body processes alcohol.

Scientists do not know why the Asian Flush phenomenon primarily affects Asians; however, they suggest that it contributes to the low incidence of alcoholism in Asian communities. So you may be cursed but you will never be an alcoholic, will probably not suffer from cirrhosis or alcoholic hepatitis, or go broke from buying alcohol. Lastly, although you can’t drink, it doesn’t mean you have to completely miss out on drinking lingo.

Answer 7

Sounds like you got into a fight, or something hit your eye when you were drunk and you didn't realize it. Perhaps the toilet lid fell on you head? Id just take some Advil, a lot of it, get some eye drops and if the problem doesn't stop, Id go see an eye Doctor.

Answer 10

it's not just you...it happens to a lot of people, asian or not. it's because alcohol expands your blood vessels, which is why you feel warmer when you drink it.
