I can't drink too much alcohol

Posted by Deneb on November 22, 2010, at 19:10:14

I've been trying to drink more red wine because it is good for you. I think I should have eaten something before drinking a glass. I feel kind of nauseous now. I think I'm of the about 50% of Asians that can't handle alcohol very well. We have some kind of mutation in the alcohol dehydrogenase gene or something.

There is just no way I can drink a small glass of wine everyday (the amount that showed the most benefits in women).

I really don't understand how people can enjoy being drunk.

Deneb, you could drink grape juice instead.

You can also eat dark red or purple grapes.

Organic concord grapes are my favorite.

What does that mean, as in, what is the result of that?

Is it like you get hangovers really easily?
Go red in the face when you drink?
Do you think that changes the feel of the effect?

It's only good for older people, not young people such as yourself. Maybe you should try again in 40 years, you might enjoy it by then!

Thanks for the suggestion Angela! I think I just might drink more grape juice!

I really like the dark red or purple grapes, but I really hate the seeds and the skin! I peel the skin off them and the skin is the most antioxidant rich part! LOL

I think it means I get sick feeling a lot easier than other people. Well, that has been my limited experience anyways. I don't drink a lot in one go.
