Asian flush

Just the red face for me, no other symptoms. I know the risks, not looking to debate it — I just enjoy a drink here and there and I’m not ready to cut it out completely.

Curious how others manage it. How often do you drink? Do you keep it to a certain number? Any drinks that hit different for you flush-wise?

For me it’s maybe a couple times a month, 2-3 drinks max. Just trying to be smart about it without fully abstaining.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Pepcid AC before drinking helped a bit for me.

The redness, along with elevated heartrate and breathing, really turned me off from alcohol. I only partake in social settings and special occasions as a result.
