What is the Asian Glow? | Alcohol Science

- If your face gets red and you feel nauseous and tired after drinking just a little bit of alcohol, then you might suffer from the Asian glow, or Asian Flush Reaction (AFR). This Asian flush occurs because of a common mutation in a key liver enzyme involved in alcohol metabolism called aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, or ALDH2. The mutation means this enzyme doesn’t work properly and this leads to a build up of acetaldehyde, which is a toxic byproduct of alcohol metabolism. In this explainer video, I explain and demonstrate what it is like to suffer from the Asian Glow. #asianglow #asianflushreaction #drunk

I did not expect a genuine demo, that was hilarious
Haha, it was definitely more fun for you than for me!
I had never heard of the Asian glow. You gave us an excellent overview of the subject. The sacrifices you make for your craft do not go unnoticed. You did appear to have pushed yourself a little beyond your comfort zone for “science”. You were wise to conduct your demonstration in the safety of your home. Your nap was well earned.
Thank you, Brewbird. You always keep it fascinating. Already looking forward to next time’s good vibes!
Thanks! Yeah it was a bit painful afterward, but I've wanted to make this video for a long time.
A friend was telling me about this a couple years ago (he happens to be Korean), I hadn't heard about it and thought he was pulling my leg until he had two drinks and was all loopy. Had to laugh when you said "maybe I'll drink more gin to see what happens" LOL. What a trooper, taking one for science! Seriously though, being aware of our alcohol intake is important since we all handle it differently. I didn't know about the heightened cancer risk though, that sucks. Lots of dark green leafy veggies for you this week!
Miss Brewbird taking one for the team, I hope it was a good gin at least. I had no idea that the asian flush reaction was linked to higher risk of cancer from drinking, thanks for the new knowledge!
It was! I was drinking the gin from The Shakespeare Distillery I used to work at. I really do like researching for these kinds of videos. I learn something new every time.
This is fascinating. I was searching on this because my asian vietnamese date became ultra-drunk on like 1 small glass of wine.
And she pretty much never drinks because of this. But she wanted to drink with me cause we'd just met and I offered her some red wine.
If I knew how sensitive she was I would have been much more hesitant to giving her alcohol.
But now we know! If she turned red I dont remember. But good to know that acid reflux pills can soften the effect.
Greetings from SWEDEN!
Hi Sweden! Hope it was a good date and that there was a second one.😀
@@MissBrewbird there was 😄✨👍✨
Brew on Miss Brewbird can always share with others that what I do. Thats the fun of it to me make something with my hands that not every can and every one enjoys it so. Very gratifying IMHO
very true!🙂
Wonderful to see an honest and in depth examination of all things brewing, not just flavors and types. Thank you!
I appreciate that! That's really what I want to do more of, videos digging into different concepts, questions, and ideas about drinks; not just recipes and tastings.
@@MissBrewbird I think that's just simply wonderful. There are a thousand aspects of this craft, and none should be ignored. My respect.
Drink for Science!
A most noble endeavor.
Interesting and informative video. Moderation is the key. Thumbs up Miss Brewbird. Great topic.
I have a small handful of Asian friends that prefer other intoxicants that alcohol. I wonder if this is part of the reason why. Never thought about that before.
Anyway, I thinkl this was an interesting and informative video. Also, everybody should drink responsibly. As a distiller too, and also just as a human, I've seen too much of the opposite.
Very good video, I'm in fact familiar with this symptom. It doesn't happen to me, but to some of my friends, and you guessed it, it is a subject of lots of jocks and fun, friendly jocks of course.
Thank you, it was very interesting to watch. Science at it's best.
🤗😀
I was actually alcoholic for several years. I had the red face reaction every day but just didn't care. Now it's gone and I'm my normal colour again.
I have been watching your videos since you interviewed Jesse, and think they are quite informative. This is the first time I have commented. I really like the way you used your personal reaction to illustrate a concept. One possibility for an update--it looked like you might have had makeup on your face--maybe for this to be clearer, do one without. Keep in mind, I am not a video producer; so, I know nothing about the need for makeup in videos. Also--the gender thing--no harm meant. Keep up the good work! I can't believe you haven't boomed yet...All in good time!
Jesse is a socialist
Aww nice to see you commenting then! I know, I am hoping this channel will BOOM too! Here's hoping.
Hey BrewBird! You look absolutely Beautiful today! Your Gorgeous all the time but today you are 😻 maybe it's the Gin 😂 i get red flush too when drinking my Dad did too. I love hearing you talk while intoxicated so cute 🥰 I will definitely take pepsid-AC next time I drink. I like the Asian glow on you 🌹
haha, thanks. I'm flattered.
@@MissBrewbird 🥰❤️
Very interesting,I’ve never heard of it till now! moderation is key n I got to admit I laughed when u looked n sounded woozy lol
I was woozy! I actually got a lot worse once I turned the cameras off. My breathing was very laboured.
Funny I think you were actually drunk 🤣 thanks for the video very informative
It basically is just getting very drunk, very quickly
Cool vidio, also yer hair is cute today.
HI. Thanks for all the educational videos. I watched your IBD videos on the distilling diploma and was wondering if you could make the same videos for the brewing Diploma?
Great suggestion! I'll see. I might make more educational brewing science videos, but since I didn't do the IBD diploma in brewing it might be difficult to make a IBD specific brewing video.
So cute to watch you slowly get drunk..(Asian glow)
Hmmm, I think I'll try I liiiiiiiiitle bit more 🤣
Well done! And kudos for your dedication to science!! 😉
Thank you! 😀
Im a gin producer and I have this mutation
This made my day
Don't scare away all the customers. Booze is good.
???
Thank you for this video
My pleasure
I have this!
I dont know when i will get the asian glow but when i have it, like right now it was itchy and almost covering my whole body like a map 🤣 this is the first time and i dont know why 🤷 my nose is stuffed and my eyes are watery. I dont experience this often bur i drink often
I have the Asian glow and I feel left out cuz I can’t enjoy alcohol which is such a big part of society 😢
But think of all the money you're saving! I've got it too, but it doesn't really affect me too much, and I work as a distiller 😄
@@MissBrewbird thanks
Wait what ? Didn’t realise this was a thing. How come Japanese drink a lot tho , they are some of the heaviest drinker I know .
I don't know how people drink so much with this condition either. It's not very comfortable.
Glad I don't suffer from something like this....I'd be dead a LONG time ago.
LOL
I heard Native Americans have the same problem because of the close genetic relation to Asians
A glass with a larger mouth would have helped
😅
🙀🙀🙀
😂 You are super cute and beautiful
Most Chinese got this from genetics it is from the Han people.
Oh I see, thanks for sharing
Second
my wife can't drink at all lol. I inherited my mom's dna more than dad. During her best years , she beat all the man for drinking baijiu ( 2 bottle of Baijiu) lmao
Wow, I would die if I tried to drink 2 bottles of baijiu in one sitting. That's impressive!
