Asian glow?!
Question: Asian glow!?
I'm pretty sure most have heard of the asian glow!. Something dealing with asians lacking the enzyme or something to correctly dissolve alcohol!. I heard that if the drinker were to take Pepcid AC before drinking the asian glow will be reduced!. If this is true, could someone please confirm it!? Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com

50% of the Pacific Rim Asian population inherit a mutant ADH known as ADH2*2 that leads to faster-than-normal degradation of ethanol to acetaldehyde!. ADH deformities are not usually found in Caucasians, Native Americans, etc
Much anecdotal evidence suggests that ingestions of low doses of heartburn medicine containing ranitidine or famotidine (such as Zantac or Pepcid AC) may be able to relieve the body of the symptoms if taken an hour before drinking!.
One possible theory that may explain the effects of famotidine (and similar classed drugs) on the skin erythema or redness secondary to alcohol consumption is because the drugs are H2-antagonists or H2 antihistamines, which are used to treat peptic/gastric ulcers!. In essence, if the "Asian flush" is an allergic reaction to the alcohol, then the mechanism of action of H2-antagonists can explain its effects on curtailing or decreasing the redness!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

According to Wikipedia, "Much anecdotal evidence suggests that ingestions of low doses of heartburn medicine containing ranitidine or famotidine (such as Zantac or Pepcid AC) may be able to relieve the body of the symptoms if taken an hour before drinking"!. So yeah it looks like it's probably true!.
