Asian flush, explained 

Olizzker Lecraz us Scots are similarly effected lol

Ja. Ich auch. lol.

I'm Irish I turn green if I don't drink

*My dad can't survive with a carne asada on sunday with beer*

Isabelle Belle you are right.🤗

Nice.

You had unlocked 100% of your brain

Wow, why have I never done that?

You probably would actually get sick if you drink alcohol when you're still a kid

@@ThePinkRubber yes because a kid's physiology is that much different from an adult's that they're just incapable of drinking any alcohol, and a switch flips when you turn 18 or 21 or whatever and you're suddenly able to drink it without getting sick

You are talking to drunk people! No way they are not gonna bring it up when you transform into a tomato!

@@boahkeinbockmehr hehehehe

hahahaha the whole world is now connecting in my head xD

What thing?

always when people drink in anime they immediately or shortly after have red cheeks. if you don't know about asian flush it just looks a bit weird.

Ddam Chii ooh I get it now! Thanks for the explanation

i always thought that was because their blood pressure rises

Straight flush can

yesssssss!

Badummm tssssss

Tbh in many Asians cultures grown parents live with their children's. So often times Asian Flushes go hand in hand with full houses!

That depends on whether there’s and Asian uncle Joey ...

Yup

Used to be

I'm very white (English if that matters), and I often feel my face get really red when I've been drinking. I have people point it out sometimes.

Apparently it can happen to any race, but I don't have this. I also have naturally high alcohol tolerance, like my father but neither of us are much for drinking. I've read people with blue eyes have a naturally higher alcohol tolerance than average and we both have blue eyes. I'd choose Asian Flush over my dyslexia though. High alcohol tolerance is not a useful trait.

LoL

I am a Chinese, from my university experience, I did notice that majority my classmates do not have this issue. Unfortunately, I am not one of them, and a few of my friends have the same asian flush. So, tea is the best drink for a party for us...

it’s probably called that because it’s more common in Asians than in other people...? i don’t know why, clearly it’s not an Asian thing.

But you're crazy...

I thought that was the Irish

Aww she sounds like a great teacher

I'm sure she was a great teacher. However, on average, Asians are not at all deficient in alcohol dehydrogenase; in fact, they have more efficient ALCOHOL dehydrogenase (that is, they actually tend to convert ethanol to the next step, acetaldehyde, much faster). Asians are more likely to have less efficient ALDEHYDE dehydrogenase (which converts the toxic acetaldehyde to acetate). You can see it partially explained in the video above (except the part about the more efficient alcohol dehydrogenase). It is hypothesised that these mutations in the genes that encode these enzymes are adaptations to prevent alcoholism.

She would get in trouble if she said that in Florida now

Not every Asian on planet earth will have this! It is called the Asian Flush because this gene appears more often in Asians but it can also occur in other populations.

Well, there's research that shows mixed race people generally tend to be perceived as more attractive.

+Ry Alcohol alone also works as a vasodiolator on the rest of us too. This is one of the facts that makes the whole "Drink some brandy to stay warm" myth. Your capillaries in the skin dilate allowing more blood flow so you feel warmth, but your skin has just become a giant radiator and you are dumping heat out of your system. Soon you'll be cold. You may also feel a bit odd in places on your body where you have high blood flow.

+Ry holy shet, ur right !

+‫ملحد و الحمد لله‬‎ They're certainly idealized after whites, though

***** The fact that they have eye colors other than brown, and hair color other than black. There was a pic that actually investigated skull structure and so on, but i can't be arsed to find it.

+Holdin McGroin The hair colour and eye colour may be quite varied, as European peoples' tend to be due to their production of melanin alleles that favour lighter colours than African, Asian, American, and Oceanic peoples, but the variations in anime and manga also tend to be quite unnatural for humans in general and produce fantastic human characters who have features that don't represent Europeans at all.

+‫ملحد و الحمد لله‬‎ They are white

+Holdin McGroin I think the reason they look white (or least not stereotypically Asian) is because they artists and animators want the characters to be easier to differentiate between, not that all Asians look alike, but I already have a bit of difficulty telling characters apart in some shows (especially if I haven't been watching from the beginning) so giving them all "super Asian faces" would just make that wide. Additionally a character's physical traits are often meant to reflect their personality, like masculine character having are hard jawline or a naive character having wide eyes. I'd also wager that differing art styles play a part in this too, as some artists may simply have a tendency to draw more "white" features on their characters or an art style that produces racially ambiguous characters that people just assume are white. But I could be wrong.

@@dank6617 Jesus drank wine.

InandaroundTO Jesus made wine, but alcohol consumption is discouraged among the mor puritanical branches of Christianity

@@joshualin5476 @Dan K Didn't Jesus come up with that whole communion thing? I mean, he told his followers to drink wine and bread ritualistically to remember him. Jesus wants you to get into the sauce, get with the program! I went to the British school system with the CofE and lived in a village. Our vicar had his own nook in the pub where his congregation would go talk to him over a pint looking for advice. If he'd sat in the church all day, I doubt he'd have a congregation because he'd be unfamiliar to his parishioners.

InandaroundTO I don't know about other countries, but like I said, the more puritanical religous people in America have had a history of seeing alcohol consumptions as a sinful indulgence. Communion was a ritual based on the thing that Jesus did, but he didn't exactly tell people to do that. Communion was a ritual invented after his death based on the Last Supper

Yeah that sounds more like an allergic reaction

Well alcohol flush is an immune response so it's pretty much the same thing.

I think you have spanish flu or something

Sounds like you should not drink. Many people are allergic. The fact is, alcohol is a poison, and the high from it is part of the effect of this. As your Dr. at your next check up.

If you have this reaction to any kind of alcohol, you have the gene mutation that causes Asian flush. If it's just a certain kind of alcohol i.e. hops or made from corn, then it might an allergic reaction. I get all the same reactions as you except for the trachea swelling. That sounds dangerous. Yeah I would steer clear of alcohol. For me, the worst part is I get itchy red skin rashes that lasts for up to 10 days.

Simp

westerners still turn red. there's a name for it - "gin blossoms"

Rice-based too, not a difference.

I think it's different for everyone but I definitely feel this! I'm able to drink sake, rice wines, makgeolli etc much easier than say, tequila, beer, etc. I can have a glass of sake or bowl of makgeolli and not even feel the flush, but half a beer and I'm red. Grape wine is kind of in the middle. Cider is, too. And let's just say I learned about tequila the hard way. Unfortunately, that means I only need to take a few sips of a margarita to regret it immediately. I also realise very 'clean' alcohols like something containing mostly neutral spirits I'm able to drink with less reaction - so strangely, drinks like Southern Comfort (which is whiskey *flavoured*) are easier to drink for me. But also, the higher quality (cleaner), generally, the better. Cheap vodka and tequila are the worst, while expensive whiskey is alright.

I relate, I can drink and drink amaretto and not flush or feel gross but certain alcohols like tequila take me down immediately

All alcohol makes me go red, but for a different reason--rosacea.

so maybe white people are actually red after all

Agreed. I wish I could trade my acne for "Asian Flush"

I never even knew this was a thing until a Vietnamese ex-gf pointed it out whenever we'd have a couple drinks. I grew up around a lot of Chinese, Cambodian, and Filipino folks, but it just wasn't something I had ever noticed before she told me about it. I still rarely notice it, because if I'm out having drinks or even just drinking with friends, I usually have better things to pay attention to than someone else's complexion.

I agree with your point. But... Isn't calling it "Wild type" more terrifying.

"Most non-Asian people." You happy?

Can be an alcohol intolerance or slight intolerance

I'm the same way and am white. I always was ignorant to it and just dealt with the redness and feeling super hot while drinking up until recently when a friend said I should Google Alcohol flush syndrome. I soon find out that I'm pretty certain to have this alcohol intolerance and now have decided to completely give up drinking bc of the adverse health affects it said it can have long term when a person has this. I'm 33 and I hope all those years of heavy drinking didn't cause too much damage 😕
