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,

Asian Flush Discussion
asian flush - oh what a curse…
the first time i realised i had it was when i was on a date with a girl i really liked - talk about bad timing for an asian flush flare up!
the girl thought i was really embarrassed about something - and i had no idea it was the alcohol that was making me red… such a disaster!
Dear Sir
I’m a journalist at the BBC Asian Network. I’m interesting in doing a news report about Asian Flush. Please can you help?
Kind regards
Ben
