Asian flush

Edit

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_flush_reaction

>"Asian flush" is common in East Asians, with approximately 30 to 50% of Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans showing characteristic physiological responses to drinking alcohol that includes facial flushing, nausea, headaches and a fast heart rate. The condition may be also highly prevalent in some Southeast Asian and Inuit populations.[1][2][3][8]
