Why if i drink a bottle beer my face turn red ?!

Question: 50% of asians are affected. They have a mutation which breaks down alcohol too quickly, forming a build up of acetalehyde (which is more toxic than alcohol). The mutation also affects the enzyme which breaks down acetalehyde into acetic acid (vinegar). So, you have the combination of producing acetalehyde quicker than most people and removing it slower.

BTW, acetalehyde turns your face red.

That happens to many Asian and Swedish people because they lack an enzyme which breaks down alcohol properly.

Because alcohol make your capillaries swell which means that more blood is brought to the surface of your skin causing the flushed look.
