Asian Flush Experiences

Hello all,

The intention of this category is to share experiences regarding Asian flush and hopefully stimulate some Asian flush related discussion.

I remember distinctly the first time I realized I had Asian flush.  I was about 16 and had told my parents that I was attending a birthday party that was being supervised by the birthday boy’s parents.  In actual fact, the boy’s parent’s were out of town and it wasn’t his birthday, rather just a bunch of teenagers doing what teenagers do when they aren’t supervised.

So I got myself two bottles of beer, not knowing that I had Asian flush nor having any idea what Asian flush was at that time.  Drank them as if I was drinking a soft drink and then 30 minutes later I couldn’t help but to notice everyone starring at me with a funny expression on their face.  I remember distinctly walking into the bathroom wondering ‘what’s gotten into everyone?’ and looking up at the mirror and thinking ‘oh sh*t, what has happened to me?”.

It was bad enough having to deal with my face being as red as a tomato, but what was even worse was trying to explain to my parents that there was no alcohol at the party and that I had just had an allergic reaction to something that I ate.  Did they buy it?  No.  Unfortunately those who experience Asian flush have a much harder time lying about whether they have been drinking.

If you have any funny Asian flush related experiences please share them with us.

Enjoy,
