Hey! No one noticed when Ken and Sashimidori posted their responses--they're both around my age!

I'm as white as rice (not a halvsie, just a parent of one), but I still get a red face when I drink sometimes. It's irregular - maybe once every five times I drink, and only for my first drink. But my face feels like it's on fire when it happens. I *think* it may be when I've not had enough to eat before starting drinking, but I've never fully confirmed that.

luckily, I don't get red-faced when I drink. I think my cheeks turn a pinkish hue but that's it. in this case, i'm glad I have the caucasian gene. some of my friends in Japan would get 'tako' face and turn beet red. it's not an attractive look

Well the beet-red gene is a dominant gene. So if your japanese parent got em in both chromosomes you're basically screwed. Even though i only have one version of it (which does help with the processing of alcohol) i am still very, very sensitive to alcohol.
From what i recall, there are two versions of the gene that make you go red. One is more severe then the other. I guess i got the severe one. <img src='http://www.halvsie.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='  ' />

Wine, especially red wine, is a doubly no-no for a-flush sufferers. Something about the sulfur in wines cataclysts the redness and their periferal symptoms. The very best drinks i could have are pure vodka based type of drinks, mixed with fruit juices. Ofcourse in very controlled and dilluted intakes.
Same thing with beer, could be the yeast, but i get so sick and hung over by even nipping one-two bottles. I could, in my hay day drink a six pack no problems, i probably still can, but the two hours of painstaking headache and vomit sickness before fainting off, has rendered me afraid to even try going there anymore.
Nowadays i hardly drink at all, It's just not worth the pain and suffering guaranteed after a roundabout. <img src='http://www.halvsie.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='  ' />
You other halvsies are so lucky to be drinking. I just can't fathom how you are able to do it. <img src='http://www.halvsie.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='  ' />

I absolutely love wine -especially red wine- but some kind of bad chemical reaciton occurs in me..so I tend to avoid...which is very unfortunate considering I live in a country where wine was founded or anyway is one of the founding countries...
stranely enough vodka or other drinks dont make me all red!

I quit drinking to an excess over twenty years ago. I have a beer now and then, but one at a time. I do not like getting drunk anymore. Nobody likes to see somebody drunk, unless it is in thier interest to get you drunk.

I bought a six pack of Saporro two weeks ago and it took 14 days to finish it off. I just don't drink like I used to. From October 2010 to October 2011 I was totally a tetollar, going alcohol-free for one year.
