Asain Glow

Despite being in college for over a quarter and developing a higher tolerence then I started with, 1 drink will still get me glowing. I heard someone that we lack an enzyme to properly break down alcohol or something of that sorts. Any solutions besides make up?

If you lack the enzyme you could not be able to drink. Lowered levels of the enzyme will increase the effect.

 
some people go flush when they drink. its not only an asian thing, other races have it as well.

you're SOL as far as hiding it.

Nope, your body doesn't make as much alcohol dehydrogenase as the average caucasian person so you don't break it down as quickly. Besides the glow, you're also much more susceptible to alcohol poisoning. Keep this in mind whenever you hoist a beer.

 
It's called the "being-a-pussy lightweight" gene..


haha, i kid i kid.

Anyways, I'm a lightweight for my size. I can get a really decent buzz off about 5-6 beers. A lot of people I know need like 10 to get messed up.
 
It's great for you. You don't need to drink a lot to be OK, that saves you money and also has a lot of benefits (for example, if you have an official lunch you can take very little, a correct amount, and be fine while others will be thirsty).

If you call yourself lightweight... I'd be completely taken out if I had as much as 6 beers. I think I'd even die then. And I'm a caucasian (I guess). My maximum is 3 beers in a row, and I'll be feeling quite tired and worn out after that or 1 bottle of wine. I'd be still OK after 3 beers but drinking a bottle of wine will get me close to vomitting. That's why I drink very seldom.

I agree. My friends like to go out and get wasted. I don't. I'll still go with them. I have just a good a time as they do.
 
Another term for it is "gin blossom" for your next Trivial Pursuit game... 🙂

I've noticed that azns that get it tend to have problems holding their liquor... so mebbe you shouldn't drink much if any. I don't have that issue... don't ever really get wasted as I'm plenty happy with a nice relaxing buzz.

Besides, I like to enjoy my beer... not pound down inexpensive watery swill. I've heard it's because your blood vessels in your face are opening up... that's all. No real way to prevent...
 
6-7 shots straight vodka and im can still drive

no thats not coo, i wouldnt get behind wheel after one BEER even if i could say the alphabet backward solving biomechanics designs standing on my head

but what i said before, 6-7 shots and im thoroughly buzzed but still able to walk, talk, and play CS with 2:1 ratio

apparently ive built up my tolerance little by little by SHOTS not beer so if you want thats that way to go
vodka is best, straight none of that wussy OJ, same with gin, JD
stay away from maui or kalhua them "flavored" drinks (probably) tastes like dog urine

get up to where you can take everclear easy without a chaser and you'll know you've won (or lost your liver whichever)

P.S im azn
 
oh im sorry you were talking about GLOW not so much tolerance
dunno about that cuz if you're chinese or japanese or any kinda light asian you're outa luck
im one of them darker ones so that dosent happen to me

still if you think about it blushing is psychological as well so the tolerance will help out alot
 
Not drinking alcohol is an option...one I choose not to take. Sure you can have fun and be happy with out it but ya only live once and I am not hurting anyone...then why not?

I think I hold my own pretty well for my size. I start getting the glow after 1shot/drink but don't start feeling a slight buzz until 3-4. My limit is around 5-7 and anymore I'll start passing out.

Hmm I'll try building up my tolerence like you said illustri, by taking more shots. I am more of a beer guy. I've heard stories about everclear, never tried it my self, worst thing I've had is Bacardi 151.

It just sucks when you turn red, hard to be inconspicuous (sp) such as when your walking by the RA.

If you have low levels of alcohol dehydrogenase, why would you do anything this stupid? Enjoy your alcohol poisoning, and believe me when I tell you it is a terrible experience.

 
you know tolerance means when you DO drink you seem LESS of an idiot to everyone around
tolerance does not mean alchoholism, well it SHOULDN'T

Very true. But it's a bonus if you're with hot-looking women who've been drinking... 😉
 
i'm not asian but i have a bunch of asian drinking buddies... they seem to be able to hold their liquor just as well as I can. The Brazilians are another story...

i can take about 7 shots of bacardi superior straight (not a beer person here) and still only be buzzed. And I'm just an average sized guy. It depends I guess.
