It is in the liver. Asians are known for a different inherited liver ability to metabolise alcohol as Europeans do. Consider yourself fortunate, live a Sober and Happy life.

You have an allergy.

Stick to sex and drugs and rock and roll.

are you sure it's just a "little"alcohol? maybe you have an allergic reaction to it.

It is common for asians to have allergies or intolerance to alcohol.

Some people have a great tolerance for alcohol and others don't.

Drinking is not all it is cracked up to be. When I was a younger man I drank, and drove and was extremely lucky, because on several occasions I was not aware of how I arrived at my house.

I now drink a beer or two a month and one alcoholic drink about once a month.

So if you can't drink alcohol and still find the need to drink, try a good brandy or wine in moderation. Drinking should never lead to you to getting drunk, it is meant only for socializing.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

"FIGHT ON"

I don't know but if it hurts when you do that, DON"T DO THAT!

Your a lightweight

Although i would say alcohol is bad, but if you want to get a handle on drinking start with sipping just a little at a time, don't gulp

I know alot of Asians who have this problem. I'm not sure if it's because you metabolise it differently than, say, a white person or if it is a genetic allergy. Either way stay away from alcohol. That is the only solution.

Why is this such a bad thing you can go out on the with a fiver

allergic reaction is easiest answer
either that or you are a light weight

btw wut constitues a little alcohol
"little" varies from person to person
to some people a 12 pack is "little" lol

Google "asian flush pepcid ac". That's your answer and solution.

I'm not sure, but how about I pick up a six pack and come by for a visit? ;-) just kidding...

Perhaps because you're drinking a little too much alcohol.

Because you are a lightweight.
