    My face turns red - Rocket red - if i drink anything remotely close to alcohol with an empty stomach...such that most people think that I am drunk even though I can still do advance calculus in my head (okay so I can't do that either way but you get the point)

    It is quite embarrasing during work functions when people look at you funny, anyone else feel the same pain?

    Is there a way to help curb this problem?

    Take a Pepcid AC before you start drinking.

    It will result in a decrease in the size of you p****. But considering I can tell you are Asian the point is moooooo. Like a cow.

    Beat me to it. I think only Asians and pale Whites turn red when drinking.

    It not just Asians and pale Whites. It happens to ANYBODY that has smaller than normal amount of aldehyde dehydrogenase. Many Asians have a mutation in coding for this enzyme, so this is why we usually turn red.

    When I was younger I had this problem to the extent that my whole body including my hands and feet would turn very red. As I've gotten older though that doesn't seem to happen anymore.

    I'm a bit concerned. I think I have a fever. It feels about 4.4 degrees warmer than usual.
