What can I do if my face is always getting flushed?

My face gets flushed and blotchy from alcohol, what can I do to prevent this?

  • Last year I never had this reaction to alcohol. Just one sip and my face gets beet red. Sometimes I just get flushed but most of the time it will be blotchy. I know, I know, just avoid alcohol. Im not one for getting wasted all the time I just like to drink socially with friends, but i dont want to do that with people asking me if Im okay... I've heard of the asian flush, but i dont have any asian decent in me. I want to be able to just go out with friends and not have to worry and constantly say "im fine" is someone asks. Any cures?

  • Answer:

    Possibly you have developed an allergy to something in your drink. When I used to drink socially (I don't drink anymore), my eyes would get puffy and my face would get flushed. Nothing bad came from it, but it was something I didn't do often.

That happens to me sometimes too. I don't know why exactly, but once I start drinking, my face gets hot and my cheeks flush. It's wierd, but it's not that bad on me, I mean it's not that noticeable. I don't know what to tell you hun. Wish I knew what it was =]

2 of my friends have the same problem and they take Pepcid-AC pill and it actually helps them. They are less blotchy and red. Although Pepcid is made for heartburn. They tried it because a friend first suggested Pepto-Bismol to coat the stomach. Hope it helps. Good Luck.

Try some different drinks to see if there is anything that you can tolerate better. Also you might try drinking some milk before you go drinking. It might slow the absorption of the alcohol. But know your limits. Nothing more unattractive then someone who has too much. Have fun

your having a reaction to something in the alcohol so it is best to avoid it before it gets worse and turns into hives. It could be the yeast or something else.

Some people are allergic to sulfates which are found in beers and wines. Either don't drink or try something else. Most people get red in the face when they drink though :)

Drink water instead

Don't drink. It could be that you have developed an allergy and it can be truly dangerous.
