*note* Why Asians turn pink *note*
Would anyone like to know? hehe...seems that we have a different form of Alcohol dehydrogenase...an isoform that doesn't do too well in breaking down ethanol (i.e. our vodka tonics). Northern europeans on the other hand have forms that have great affinity for ethanol and breaks it down more efficiently. So it seems that we don't take to alcohol too well, lol, and our bodies in desperation to get rid of the stuff that the liver is degrading so slowly gets rid of a lot of it through our skin. lol thus the rosy cheeked asians at your local bar.

*APPLAUSE*
