whenever i drink this happens...

[azndude89]

there are spots on my skin. does anyone know what this is?

It appears to be an allergic reaction to alcohol consumption.

Do you experience other symptoms after drinking alcohol?

What is your usual alcoholic drink?

I recommend drinking plenty of water after consuming alcohol. Water/alcohol ratio 2:1.

Is this rash only on your trunk or do you also get it on your face?

Compared to your friends, do you get drunk faster? How do you feel after you drink?

My bet is that this is a normal variant for you and that your heritage and genetic pattern is similar (you don't have to be asian to get this) as it simply has to do with your enzyme level.
I also bet that you don't "hold your liquor" or handle the drink as well.

Also, I am not recommending the product as I don't know anything about it. I just think the site explained the process well.

Are you a spirit sort of man , or do you prefer beer as in hops and barley ?
Have you changed your usual beverage in the last couple of weeks ?
Karabulut asked some very pertinet questions apart from the rash do you get
any other signs or symptons ?
Nowadays most if not all of the Allergic Reaction Tests ae so sensitive it might
not even be alchohal related .
Hope you find out what it is good luck m8 . x

I'd be wary of giving credit card details for a product which has no description.

The product sell is just that. A hyper sell of a product for which there is no actual description of the product's ingredients, or the name and contact details of the manufacturer of the product. The testimonials are impressive but how authentic are they?

Bullwing is somewhat correct but it usually happens on the face and not the chest. Usually my Asian friends will take heartburn medication before drinking to lessen the affects of the rosacea.

 

[bullwing413]

The same process that affects the skin capillaries in the face can affect skin capillaries anywhere and cause the mottled effect. It's just certain skin areas take more to be affected. The face was meant to blush, the chest less so, and so on.

not really, my face would get hot and yea, i'll experience the typical "asian glow", but i didn't know that the asian glow can lead to these spots

I would say i get drunk faster than most of my friends. i feel the small headache when i drink a little to much

**** i also get these spots after i'm out in the sun when tanning or so****

It does sound like ALDH2 Deficiency. Not as common in caucasians as other ethnic groups but still quite possible...

Yea... already diagnosed myself with that, however I didn't think this condition lead to spots on my stomach

It is a systemic reaction. The face, neck and shoulders are very vascular, so it is most pronounced there. That and we normally don't see people drinking in public with their shirts off.

If you're seeing a very pronounced red flush in your face- almost like a sunburn- along with feelings of nausea, then ALDH2 deficiency is the most likely cause. It's something that you should be aware of because of its link to increased risk for esophageal cancer.

Histamine or sulfite sensitivity will also cause blotchy rashes on the body after drinking certain drink- particularly wines and distilled spirits.

Yes, alcohol will do that. I have to be very careful when drinking. Additionally, for those of us that get the "Asian glow" as you called it, the incidence of throat and other alcohol exacerbated cancers is higher by a very significant amount (several magnitudes).

My sulphite sensitivity is now so high that if I drink 1/2 glass of red wine or other sulphite heavy drink I'm vomiting it up in under 15 mins.

I stick with sake and beers I know sit ok with me.
