Anybody else had problems with Alcohol flush syndrome, where you drink a bit and get a really red face? Apparently about 8% of the population has that gene where they don't process ethanol fully, and their body builds up toxins. Mostly folks of Asian (Native American?) descent. I wasn't bothered with this all these years when I just drank a beer or two, but lately been getting more into hard liquor and now this is happening. Associated with higher cancer risk ... scaring me back to being a one-beer guy or even just green tea. I would like a chance to know my grandkids some day. :ermm:
