hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover red face from drinking alcohol try Pycanta Red Face Protocol (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my brother in law got amazing success with it.
@@Valentina_-lw9ui I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about alcohol flush treatment try Pycanta Red Face Protocol ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend got amazing success with it.
The stats on this are scary. I really dove into this subject and I’m done drinking for good after a good decade of regularly drinking on weekends. I only wish I knew this info earlier.
I don’t get the Asian glow anymore like I used to in college and high school. Which I don’t know of that is a good or a bad thing. My tolerance has increased significantly
@@dfsdfsdafsd9008 unfortunately it boils down to drinking too much and my body developed a tolerance for it. I'm working on slowing down and trying to drink less heavily - as my tolerance is not something I'm necessarily proud of. So I would focus on drinking things that have lower sugar content and are lighter in color. Wine is the #1 single worst thing for me and will make me throw up for hours. Vodka however, I can drink continuously and generally never have a hangover from. But dark aged rum, whiskey, mixed drinks, and beer arent ideal. But Gin, tequila blanco, sake, sometimes bacardi are all ok for me. I never want to condone or encourage over use of alcohol, but that is how I got rid of the flush was by drinking more. But that really is not a good solution in the long run and you shouldn't do it. I feel though an honest answer was deserved because I've also seen so many insane DIY at home remedies for the Asian glow that aren't safe either. So just be ok with getting red, drink in moderation, and you might want to invest in a color correcting cream or tinted moisturizer
I suffered ALDH2 and I didn’t know this until 5 years ago when I looked it up and I still drink to date lol. Myself and A lot of people, (almost all, even my own GP) thought I just have low tolerance to alcohol . I also thought I had allergies. In 36 years of my life only met 1 person who actually know my condition because he’s a research chemist. The reactions I get when drinking even just half a pint of 4% cider. - whole body will get very warm, I can feel it mostly on my face and ears. -turning red. As in VERY RED - very rapid heartbeat -difficulty breathing -red watery eyes and puffy eye bags -Red blotches all over my body (looks hives but they’re not itchy) -nausea -burred vission -very sleepy -And the weirdest part is I feel very very cold and shivering - I pass out Note: this only 4% of cider.. basically the reaction is like a very drunk person. ( I am feeling these whilst still drinking not like when it’s finish hence it would take an hr for me or more to finish the half pint.) I noticed, the shivering reaction goes away when I’m in the club crazily dancing (my theory is maybe because I sweat it out) I can still manage to carry on drinking when I stop in between like drinking water, eating and fresh air. After 1-2 hrs, feels like I can have another half pint. I have also come to the point that I pass out, I remembered my eyes were widely open but saw just black then I pass out. On top of all of these... I know exactly what’s going on seems like my brain is fully functioning, remembering every single details unlike to a normal drunk person that cannot remember as much. My doctor haven’t been able to help me with this apart from he said “just don’t drink” and said no available medications in the UK (well bcoz he didn’t know the deficiency) there are available meds in America but so damn expensive. So how are we going to fix this?
ai lee hello and thank you so much for watching and commenting! So sorry you have to go through such frustrating symptoms :( for much of your life. Unfortunately we don’t know of a cure for this. Science today has created products that seem to work for many people, but it is still just a supplement and not actually approved as a cure for what we suffer. Our goal is that we can all come together and share our stories as you have done here, and eventually when new information and new discoveries arise we can be the first to know and share with each other. For now we appreciate all the support that you all are giving each other!
Luckily for me I hate alcohol because I have that Asian glow 😂 I feel so uncomfortable physically when it happens ! Red face, breathing difficulties, hot flush, headache, etc…
Finally found out what caused my extreme redness, irritated breathing and headaches when having a small drink. Never really searched for “asian glow” since im not asian.
I too am not Asian and have just now researched this issue that Ive been ignorant too my whole life. I just always dealt with the redness and feeling really warm and just kept on drinking. I'm 33 now and after reading about the link between this condition and cancer risk I've decided to pretty much stop drinking. The C word tends to scare the crap out of most people and now that I have a wife and daughter I'm definitely taking my health much more seriously.
@@driftlessman2094 the cancer part is very low risk when drinking occasionally. So I would not really be worried too much. Ever since my brother has had cancer, and was living a extremely healthy lifestyle I haven’t been to worried about it. You can try everything to avoid it, and still have some extremely tough luck.
Same. I’m white (not sure on family history) and I have all the symptoms. Everyone thinks I’m anti alcohol and when I tell them I have an intolerance I think most don’t believe me lol but no big deal I have several alcoholics in my family so it’s probably a blessing.
Same here! I'm a Mediterranean Caucasian with no know recent (500 years) asian ancestry and still get the asian flush! No one in my family or friends circle knew what it was before I did my research... I do have the occasional glass of wine but after this video I think I'm gonna cut that also :(
South east asian here. I dont drink much , maybe once in 6 7 months. Just experienced asian glow for the first time in my life and it was a scary moment. I got to know about this through my elder brother and i started researching about it. Thanks for educating the community❤ . Its probably best to quit drinking for the rest of my life now 😅 . Dont wanna go through this bullshit again.
My face sometimes tints red when I drink and I am half asian, half african. I’m just curious, because I’m quite petite, does it make me more prone to getting flushed?
Dam I get the Asian glow sometimes and I drink 1 or 2 beers everyday. I notice I only get the glow if I’m tired and had a big day at work otherwise I’m fine
Hey Mike and Matty, thank you so much for educating the Asian community about this. I've sent this to my Asian friends, and I'm very grateful. I have a question: is there anyway to remove the acetaldehyde from your system when drinking? I don't want to give up drinking, so I'm very much willing to invest in supplements/methods that can do that. Or at least lessen the risk of cancer. If not, I'm afraid I'll have to kick the can!
Not a doctor, but I would say that it is because pepcid only masks the glow, but doesn't prevent any of the underlying negative effects of the alcohol and acetaldehyde. This just leads to people who are more at risk (People who lack the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 enzyme) to continue to drink, increasing the risk of cancer.
Hi guys! I'm currently doing a summer research project regarding asian glow correlating to liver cancer for NCI. I know you guys made this video a long time ago, but I was wondering if you guys still had the links to the articles you read so I can potentially use them! You guys are awesome!
Sometimes i wish i had this mutation... I'm g/g and don't get hangovers or many ill effects aside from sour stomach if i drink too fast thus I became an alcoholic very quickly. I would almost rather it didn't feel so good
I’m not East Asian, I’m Armenian so we come from the Caucasian area (caucus mountains etc) and idk how much Armenians are impacted by Asian flush. But this happens to me and idk if it’s Asian flush or an allergy to alcohol. How can I find out? I drink a white claw only one which is 5 percent alc, and get red patches over my face, legs, back, ches and neck and my body feels numb, super hot and I can feel my pulse in my fingers, tip of nose and tips of ears. My heart beats super fast which is super uncomfortable and my eyes get kinda swollen. I get super sleepy, dizzy and get chills and feel cold.
Dunno if you guys still read the comment section but I had a question regarding your playlist to Asian glow: Im not sure if I have Asian glow... I don’t really turn red when I drink maybe a little but with the right alcohol I can drink without noticing much of the symptoms - at other times I do get the headaches, nausea and sleepiness associated with Asian glow... I was never told that I turned red or sth but I do notice the other Symptoms Now im not sure if one can have Asian glow without actually „glowing“. Or maybe I do have it but like not as much as others. And another question I had was how do you two handle your glow? Is there any way to reduce risk of cancer while still drinking? Or is reducing alcohol consumption the only Solution? And how much do you guys drink max on a Weekend?
Good questions. Your case sounds a little more difficult to figure out. It may help to look at your parents, if neither of them glow then you have a low chance of it. There are genetic tests you can take as well but the accuracy of them is not 100%. It’s hard to tell but it sounds like you might not have it because the symptoms you describe (headache, nausea, sleepiness) are normal symptoms of drinking alcohol rather than glow. We don’t drink on a weekly basis. Maybe a little bit during holidays or family gatherings
Mike and Matty haha thanks! I am drinking for this first time tonight with my friends and I am half asian. My mom always get flushed when she drinks, I am a little nervous if I will have it too.
@@andrewzheng1780 haha it's a high chance that you will too, but who knows. We got our flush from our mom too, sometimes we think about it as a blessing in disguise now knowing about the genetics of flushing. Regardless, have a good time with your friends!
LOL EVEN IF THAT WEREN'T TRUE THE asian dna IS INHERENTLY A DEFORMITY YOU CAN'T TELL ME ONE THING IN 2021 THAT IS AT LEAST SATISFACTORY (GENETALIA SIZE, BODY SIZE/SHAPE, ATHLETICISM, IQ, LOOKS ETC. ETC.)
Thanks for watching everyone! Let us know what you would like us to talk about next!!

Life’s about choices, your body and wallet might thank you
I’m half Asian and I get it. But I don’t think I wanna stop drinking completely for the evolutionary stand point

did you happen to make a video on why pepcid isn't safe to use to hide asian glow? I saw you mentioned it in another video as well! thanks!
Why isn’t it safe?

Why would you want this mutation..
Why do I get the Asian glow I am 100% English and my sister had it as well but suddenly just stopped?
So native Americans are to Asians what charizard is to charmander?
Who else just drank and came here 😭
I’m not East Asian, I’m Armenian so we come from the Caucasian area (caucus mountains etc) and idk how much Armenians are impacted by Asian flush.

I only drink wine and I drink everyday.... More so on the days I'm off work so
i am a Filipino and i haven't met anyone who have asian glow except my mother. Are those stats correct? lol
Lol all my Filipino friends here in America have it
I’m Filipino and my whole family gets like this ! Ugh.
I’m Filipino and besides the redness and fast heartbeat, I get rashes too and it stays for 2-4 days. And that’s only from a can of 4% cider…
Just had Mike’s harder lemonade. At least I don’t have more than a few drinks a month lol

Does sweating make the symptoms go away? I just got drunk yesterday and I AM FUCKING ITCHY SO MUCH RN. I also feel cold and shivering so much.

I'm white and get this kinda. I get the red face and headace some times. I'm half British and half Venezuelan btw
It’s rare, but as we see there are a lot of other non Asians in the comments with these symptoms. Sorry to hear about it

so the lesson is. Take more MDMA from now on?
Bro whenever I drink I use to red face and eyes and my heartbeat increases what should I do.
Best thing to do is not drink at all. But here is a video we made on other tips: ua-cam.com/video/d9QWi4K3tmA/v-deo.html
I really suffered on this.
Is it safe to have Covid-19 vaccine even if I have Asian Glow..
I hope you will notice ❤️
nobody will really know , covid vaccine is too new for studies on this less common side effect of drinking alcohol
Im having a smaill itchy red part in my body is that asian glow
asian glow is usually all over the body. It could be, but to me sounds more like a rash or an allergy
Can you still feel drunk even with the flush?
yes, haha you can feel drunk with the flush but just. because you are flushed doesn't necessarily mean you are drunk
