And I'm not even Asian. Everytime I drink alcohol, just a bit, I feel drunk and dizzy and can't even finish the whole thing.
So I don't even know why I bother trying to drink on those rare occasions. I don't think I am missing much.

Well, feeling drunk and dizzy is kind of the point. Drink more after that and things are, ah, not so fun. So I don't think you're missing much either!

I just went to a beer tasting.
I had just a bit of the stuff, and it makes me feel slightly dizzy and heavy headed from just a tiny amount.
How weird.

I'd never heard of that. How scary?

Asian flush is the actual flush. I think you're confusing this with "easily sauced syndrome" (ESS) which is not race-discriminatory.

My wife is allergic to Alcohol. I didn't know it had a name. One small bit and she starts to pass out.

It's actually a real condition.

I have the same one, by the way.

Thank you, Amerind great-great grandmother!
