Why does alcohol make your heart beat faster, make you out of breath and sometimes blush?
In: 98
Sometimes the blushing is an inability to metabolize alcohol
>[Asian Flushing Syndrome](https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03497442) (AFS) is a genetic disease affecting approximately 70% of patients of East Asian descent characterized by severe flushing with minimal ethanol consumption. This reaction is cosmetically unattractive and socially limiting.
The flushing isn’t just ‘red skin’ there’s some bumpy dermatitis involved to. People other than asians can get it as well.
