I can't stand anything with alcohol in it, it just makes me sick. Nobody in my father's family drinks at all and I assume they have the same genes that make alcohol bitter. Is this true or is it something else? I have gotten drunk but it's very difficult for me as I just can't stand the taste of alcohol.

A lot of people have that, and they just don't drink. Why force it? And a lot of Asians can't drink at all - their bodies can't process the alcohol. The only things you're missing are empty calories and the chance to look stupid.

You have an alcohol intolerance — which means you are more sensitive to the normal effects of alcohol. Alcohol can cause a variety of immediate adverse effects on the body, including headache, rapid heartbeat, nausea or vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, nasal congestion or warm, red, itchy skin.
Many people of Asian descent experience an unusual flushing reaction after drinking alcohol — even in very small amounts. This is caused by a genetic disorder in which the body is unable to break down alcohol completely. Some research suggests that people who experience alcohol flush reaction may be at increased risk of alcohol-related conditions, such as cancer of the esophagus and liver disease.
The only solution to all of these problems is to avoid alcohol.
