I am an occasional drinker but when I take alcohol my eyes get red so bad including my face upto my neck. Can you please suggest me what should I do? And is it some kind of weakness or is it an allergic of alcohol that my body can not resist? Thank you.

Your problem iss Alcohol Flush or Asian Flush Syndrome and motly prevalent in Asian people ------Individuals who get the redness after drinking alcohol are at greater risk for developing esophageal cancer as well as Peptic Ulcers--------------About eight percent of the world?s population has this genetic condition where the body lacks an enzyme that properly breaks down alcohol.----This missing enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 metabolizes alcohol into acetate, which is non-toxic - so the remaining 92 percent of the world can drink with normal facial color.-----and sorry to say, you come in remaining 8% of people and when you drink alcohol, the alcohol turns into acetaldehyde, which is a chemical that causes DNA damage and has cancer-promoting effects. That causes the facial flush, according to latest studies-------------According to studies people who have the facial flush and continue to drink are six to 10 times more likely to develop esophageal cancer, compared with someone without the genetic condition who is drinking the same amount.---------So it is a wake up alarm for you to stop drinking even occasionally-----------
