Asian flush, also widely known as Asian glow, is when Chinese, Japanese and Korean people turn red after drinking alcohol. What causes Asian glow? Genetics, basically. Around 36% of Northeast Asians are deficient in one of the enzymes that metabolizes alcohol, due to a gene mutation called ALDH2*2. This leads to a buildup of a toxic substance called acetaldehyde, which causes Asian flush and can also cause cancer, especially esophageal cancer.

So that's why their face turns red everytime an anime character gets drunk. I thought it was just an artistic touch.

omg you are so immature. are you 9 years old??
I'm german, I turn red if I don't drink.
Olizzker Lecraz us Scots are similarly effected lol
Ja. Ich auch. lol.
I'm Irish I turn green if I don't drink
*My dad can't survive with a carne asada on sunday with beer*
I'm half German, half Irish. I'm too scared to find out what colour I'd go if stopped drinking.
I have Asian Flush. When I was a kid, I would drink just a tad bit of my parents alcohol on weekday mornings to pretend I was sick and not have to go to school.
Nice.
You had unlocked 100% of your brain
Wow, why have I never done that?
You probably would actually get sick if you drink alcohol when you're still a kid
@@ThePinkRubber yes because a kid's physiology is that much different from an adult's that they're just incapable of drinking any alcohol, and a switch flips when you turn 18 or 21 or whatever and you're suddenly able to drink it without getting sick
I'm Indian people turn red when they see u drinking
Ha
If you’re Indian drinking is shame shame
Lol
@Xen what do you mean ?? People turn red when they see you.... Do you take of your pants or something..... LoL that will turn everyone red bruhh smh°^°

This channel is the accurate, informative, non bullshit, non cringy version of buzzfeed, I love it!
Yup
Used to be
My bio teacher introduced my class to this phenomenon. She was teaching about different enzymes and how a lot of Asians are deficient in alcohol dehydrogenase, and how she herself gets uncomfortable when she even drinks some beer or red wine. BTW, she was my favourite highschool teacher.
Aww she sounds like a great teacher
I'm sure she was a great teacher. However, on average, Asians are not at all deficient in alcohol dehydrogenase; in fact, they have more efficient ALCOHOL dehydrogenase (that is, they actually tend to convert ethanol to the next step, acetaldehyde, much faster). Asians are more likely to have less efficient ALDEHYDE dehydrogenase (which converts the toxic acetaldehyde to acetate). You can see it partially explained in the video above (except the part about the more efficient alcohol dehydrogenase).
It is hypothesised that these mutations in the genes that encode these enzymes are adaptations to prevent alcoholism.
She would get in trouble if she said that in Florida now
Not every Asian on planet earth will have this! It is called the Asian Flush because this gene appears more often in Asians but it can also occur in other populations.
@@lafq whyyyy??
I'm glad you mentioned about the headache after 30 mins of drinking. I get that too so drinking has never been that enjoyable for me. No one around me experiences the headaches so I assumed it was just me.
"so we slamming these" this guy was ready to party
"are we slammin these? whats happening?"
Brian, you're crazy man... but i like you
But you're crazy...
Charles Min lol he's already sweating heavily 2:16
ohhh so thats why in anime they do that thing... i never knew
hahahaha the whole world is now connecting in my head xD
What thing?
always when people drink in anime they immediately or shortly after have red cheeks. if you don't know about asian flush it just looks a bit weird.
Ddam Chii ooh I get it now! Thanks for the explanation
i always thought that was because their blood pressure rises
This very thing has been a topic of many jokes between my wife and I. My wife was born and raised in Germany, a culture with a long drinking history. I'm Korean-American and I turn red after a couple drinks though I'm not drunk. My wife calls me her "cherry dumpling" when it occurs lol.
I’m sorry your face turns red from drinking, but that’s one of the cutest nicknames I’ve ever heard! 😝

Omg she is so pretty
damn that was smooth
all asian white mixed are
Many mixed females, agreed.
artemis chen debatable. There are always good looking ones and ugly ones, we just tend to notice the good looking ones more
Isabelle Belle you are right.🤗
But how does Asian Flush hold up against an Asian Full House?
Straight flush can
yesssssss!
Badummm tssssss
Tbh in many Asians cultures grown parents live with their children's. So often times Asian Flushes go hand in hand with full houses!
That depends on whether there’s and Asian uncle Joey ...
Wow this was an eye opener. I deff need to cut back. I am an Asian who lacks that gene but I over time no longer get the flush anymore and can drink considerably more than I used to without any side effects. Esophageal cancer sounds terrifying and I think it’s time for a lifestyle change
When I drink, my face shows no sign of changing color.
When I meet Joss Fong, my face turns red.
Asian flush? I'm Asian and I thought everyone had this when they get drunk.
I'm very white (English if that matters), and I often feel my face get really red when I've been drinking. I have people point it out sometimes.
Apparently it can happen to any race, but I don't have this. I also have naturally high alcohol tolerance, like my father but neither of us are much for drinking. I've read people with blue eyes have a naturally higher alcohol tolerance than average and we both have blue eyes. I'd choose Asian Flush over my dyslexia though. High alcohol tolerance is not a useful trait.
LoL
I am a Chinese, from my university experience, I did notice that majority my classmates do not have this issue. Unfortunately, I am not one of them, and a few of my friends have the same asian flush. So, tea is the best drink for a party for us...
it’s probably called that because it’s more common in Asians than in other people...? i don’t know why, clearly it’s not an Asian thing.
This explains why anime characters turn red when they're supposed to be drunk. I never quite understood who turning red could portray drunkenness, now I get it.
+Ry Alcohol alone also works as a vasodiolator on the rest of us too. This is one of the facts that makes the whole "Drink some brandy to stay warm" myth. Your capillaries in the skin dilate allowing more blood flow so you feel warmth, but your skin has just become a giant radiator and you are dumping heat out of your system. Soon you'll be cold. You may also feel a bit odd in places on your body where you have high blood flow.
+Ry holy shet, ur right !
0:35 Me at every party ever with alcohol.
"Asian Flush"
Me : you mean "East Asian Flush"?
Exact to be accurate.
In the US, Asian is shorthand for East Asian.
@@SohanDsouza which is pretty myopic
Specifically
@@emdadahmed5592 especially when Asia originally only refers to a small area in Turkey.
So this is why they turn red in some animes when they drink
+ملحد و الحمد لله
They're certainly idealized after whites, though
*****
The fact that they have eye colors other than brown, and hair color other than black.
There was a pic that actually investigated skull structure and so on, but i can't be arsed to find it.
+Holdin McGroin The hair colour and eye colour may be quite varied, as European peoples' tend to be due to their production of melanin alleles that favour lighter colours than African, Asian, American, and Oceanic peoples, but the variations in anime and manga also tend to be quite unnatural for humans in general and produce fantastic human characters who have features that don't represent Europeans at all.
+ملحد و الحمد لله They are white
+Holdin McGroin I think the reason they look white (or least not stereotypically Asian) is because they artists and animators want the characters to be easier to differentiate between, not that all Asians look alike, but I already have a bit of difficulty telling characters apart in some shows (especially if I haven't been watching from the beginning) so giving them all "super Asian faces" would just make that wide. Additionally a character's physical traits are often meant to reflect their personality, like masculine character having are hard jawline or a naive character having wide eyes. I'd also wager that differing art styles play a part in this too, as some artists may simply have a tendency to draw more "white" features on their characters or an art style that produces racially ambiguous characters that people just assume are white. But I could be wrong.

I’m someone that gets very bad Asian flush like straight tomatoes red 😂 I would say it feels like a curse and blessing at the same time. When I was younger I always felt like I was missing out and would try to drink, but soon as I drank 1 drink my body would already get symptoms and start shutting down. As I got older I accepted I could not drink alcohol and gave up trying. 25 years old now and I’m finally seeing how much of a blessing it is not to be able to drink. Don’t let society foul you to thinking you need alcohol to have fun.
i once try some alcohol, then my skin turn red all over the body, my body is like burning, then i feel weak. i feel a little drunk at first, but hours later, my body turn itchy all over the place, and it hurt so much that im not even feel drunk at all. i can't even sleep well. and it will stay like that til like 3 days or even 1 week. the worst day of my life.

I used to party hard in my early 20’s despite the Asian glow. I just went outside a lot to cool myself off, and avoided cocktails (the sugar in them causes an excruciating stomachache). 10 years later and I’ve discovered the wonders of Pepcid. I swear it completely eradicates the glow if you take one prior to or while drinking.
The first (& last time) I drank warm Saki (Japanese rice wine) I literally turned so red that my friends rushed me to the nearest hospital. I was so freaked out by the whole ordeal that I haven't touched the stuff since and that was over 20 years ago.
What they do at the hospital?

It's true for me and all my family as an Asian. We felt burning inside and gradually become Asian flush which is really tired and exhausted after that. And as you said, overuse alcohol is bad but if you have an Asian flush, it's even worse and the truth is my grandpa had died cuz of being overuse alcohol when you need to have a party with your customer often. He drinks like a fish and ignores Asian flush and it's come to the point that he realized he had
liver cancer. Goodbye, my beloved grandpa !
You gradually become Asian?

Yo I had a Chinese Roommate (Loved her, miss her) and she came home drunk one-day bright red! I assumed it was normal cause her boyfriend wasn't freaking out but this was so informative
I’m so white, but this happens to me! Just one drink and my cheeks are burning and my chest is red and splotchy. It took me a while to realize because when I was younger I mostly binge drank (regrettable) but now I feel so self conscious having one at happy hour :/
Can be an alcohol intolerance or slight intolerance
I'm the same way and am white. I always was ignorant to it and just dealt with the redness and feeling super hot while drinking up until recently when a friend said I should Google Alcohol flush syndrome. I soon find out that I'm pretty certain to have this alcohol intolerance and now have decided to completely give up drinking bc of the adverse health affects it said it can have long term when a person has this. I'm 33 and I hope all those years of heavy drinking didn't cause too much damage 😕
My mate had this. He’s Filipino. We never understand why he got red when we went out on nights out but now I know
OK, she is cute - but let's concentrate on the content (which is always interesting), OK?

I didn’t realize the flush was a result of Acetaldehyde build-up. It makes me wonder why this wasn’t selected against with how much people drink.
the answer is the populations were this occurred historically did not drink
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay area, so I had some Asian friends back in my 20's and I always wondered why they were so hesitant to join our other friends in what was ill advised alcohol consumption. Now I know they may have not only been far wiser, but also possibly had an seeming allergy. Great friends but always soooo sober. Smart.
Or they were christians.
@@dank6617 Jesus drank wine.
InandaroundTO Jesus made wine, but alcohol consumption is discouraged among the mor puritanical branches of Christianity
@@joshualin5476 @Dan K Didn't Jesus come up with that whole communion thing? I mean, he told his followers to drink wine and bread ritualistically to remember him. Jesus wants you to get into the sauce, get with the program!
I went to the British school system with the CofE and lived in a village. Our vicar had his own nook in the pub where his congregation would go talk to him over a pint looking for advice. If he'd sat in the church all day, I doubt he'd have a congregation because he'd be unfamiliar to his parishioners.
InandaroundTO I don't know about other countries, but like I said, the more puritanical religous people in America have had a history of seeing alcohol consumptions as a sinful indulgence. Communion was a ritual based on the thing that Jesus did, but he didn't exactly tell people to do that. Communion was a ritual invented after his death based on the Last Supper
Am I the only one who never knew that this was a thing that happened?
WheresPoochie I'd never heard of it either, but I did have a Japanese roommate once and he turned beat red after having a drink.

By this, Serbs are actually Asian.
My mom has it, but she is white.
bambarby im asian and i have never heard of such a thing
I guess that is why it is forbidden in my religion even at the slightest amounts
My dad gets really red even after one can of beer. My sister and I used to “draw” on his back every time he drank because it would be so red and adding a bit of pressure makes that part of the skin white for a second. We could do hand prints, smiley faces on him 🤣
Came here to see Joss.
Ajay Pasricha joss is cutie
Same.
I got an Asian flush ad before this video
This is actually so interesting to me as I am half Polish and half Vietnamese, born and raised in Poland and been living in the UK for the past few years... As you probably know, Poles drink a lot! And when I have a drink, I also have Asian flush but definitely not as much as my Asian dad. Any other people here who are mixed raced European and Asian and have a similar experience?
As a white guy who loves both alcohol and anime, I finally understood why anime characters are represented with red faces when they are drunk, since I never really saw anyone turn red for that reason in real life. That’s really interesting.

If I see a white or a black woman I think is hot I'll just say they're hot. No need to mention colour at all unless as a positive.
dude... because I have a preference doesn't mean I'm racist get over yourself
Greggory Picoli
Depends what your "preference" is based on. But what do I care? You can be racist if you want. Doesn't make a difference to me.
I'm southeast asian, I thought that everyone turns red when they drink alcohol, we wouldn't know the difference of an Asian and a white foreigner when drinking because white foreigners are always red here.
That could be the sunburn lol
Asians doesn't only mean Chinese Japanese and south east Asian. It includes Sri Lankan, Indian Pakistani and Afghanistani too. Get your facts right too. Always include them too
I am half Chinese and have this condition. It is horrible as hell. My skin gets red from head to toes and itches like hell, my heartbeat goes sky high, I get nausea, headache and the worst of all my trachea shuts down completely leaving me impossibly to breath, chocking and gasping for air. It feels like my trachea swells uncontrollably. Reason enough to stay away from alcohol.
Yeah that sounds more like an allergic reaction
Well alcohol flush is an immune response so it's pretty much the same thing.
I think you have spanish flu or something
Sounds like you should not drink. Many people are allergic. The fact is, alcohol is a poison, and the high from it
is part of the effect of this. As your Dr. at your next check up.
If you have this reaction to any kind of alcohol, you have the gene mutation that causes Asian flush. If it's just a certain kind of alcohol i.e. hops or made from corn, then it might an allergic reaction. I get all the same reactions as you except for the trachea swelling. That sounds dangerous. Yeah I would steer clear of alcohol. For me, the worst part is I get itchy red skin rashes that lasts for up to 10 days.
However, many east asians don't go red when drinking rice based alcohol, it's mainly when they drink wheat based, having to do with genetic mutations. Maybe westerners would turn red when they drink rice based alcohol, someone should try this out
westerners still turn red. there's a name for it - "gin blossoms"
Rice-based too, not a difference.
I think it's different for everyone but I definitely feel this! I'm able to drink sake, rice wines, makgeolli etc much easier than say, tequila, beer, etc. I can have a glass of sake or bowl of makgeolli and not even feel the flush, but half a beer and I'm red. Grape wine is kind of in the middle. Cider is, too.
And let's just say I learned about tequila the hard way. Unfortunately, that means I only need to take a few sips of a margarita to regret it immediately.
I also realise very 'clean' alcohols like something containing mostly neutral spirits I'm able to drink with less reaction - so strangely, drinks like Southern Comfort (which is whiskey *flavoured*) are easier to drink for me. But also, the higher quality (cleaner), generally, the better.
Cheap vodka and tequila are the worst, while expensive whiskey is alright.
I relate, I can drink and drink amaretto and not flush or feel gross but certain alcohols like tequila take me down immediately
All alcohol makes me go red, but for a different reason--rosacea.
I did not know this was a thing I just thought light-toned people usually got red from Alcohol
I live in China and have friends who (it seems) dont understand why they flush - I wil be recommending they take a look at this
Thank you
I'm European and I suffer from this quite badly. However, I found that indigestion medicine helps with this completely. So, if you have asian flush, ranitidine (active ingridient) can help. you will find this is most pharmacies. Take a tablet before drinking, and it helps digest it. Just don't abuse it as of course, mixing medicine and alcohol is not ideal. I do this on a very rare case.
she looks hotter with the red face at 2:14.
IlIlDannyIlIl
I think it's also because of her smile, she has one of those magic drop-dead smiles.
ExtremeZitrone
She is so ridicilously cute.
yep
IlIlDannyIlIl Bill Cosby get off the internet we all know what you're trying to do
ExtremeZitrone you people probably feel that way because she doesn't look like a colorless smack head in the second picture.
Finally theres science can explain for me 😭 every time its hard for me to explain why i dont drink
And I expected a video about the spray hose next to the toilet.
Glad I’m not Asian.
*pours 4th drink*
"Asian" flush isn't exclusively Asian. Not all Asians have "Asian" flush and not all non-Asians don't have.
But alcohol still affects you, doesn’t matter your race
@@bobbiusshadow6985 it doesnt happen to europeans only to jews
same
* opens 9th beer *
I'm Asian and I don't have Asian flush.
Is anyone else now worried for Eugene from Buzzfeed??
+pineappleagent1 I'm more worried about him being an angry drunk.
Jason Chan He's not very angry from what I've seen. Zack seemed the most confrontational in their drinking limit video.
+pineappleagent1 yes omg im glad im not the only one
+pineappleagent1 I didn't notice him turn red in the two alcohol-related Try Guys videos that I have seen. Ryan Bergera did a video on this though. No Eugene in it unfortunately. He called it Asian glow in the video.
Abigail Zapatos Cool.
Well, that explains why princess Ayeka from "Tenchi Muyo!" turned pink when drunk... And why anime characters in general turn pink or at least blush when drunk.
RUclips knows I've been drinking this quarantine lol
UGH, I FALL IN LOVE WITH JOSS! SHE IS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!
sauce pls
@@Adar195 Joss Fong, the host of the video
Simp
Is drinking really that fun?
I never really understood that.
A lot of people say that so i guess it's fun
Yes it is
Yeah makes u feel good
Poisoning yourself can be fun
Dave102693 lol poisoning yourself? It’s not poison. Just wait til you’re not in middle school anymore.
Liver produces enzymes
Immune system:
Wait! What the heck are you doing!?
2:14 okay but shes beautiful
Weird when Joss has the blush she looks like 20% more european
Maybe it's the pinkish undertone?
@@escobarines Ding ding ding ding ding, Bingo!
Although I am not of Asian descent I experienced similar symptoms as mentioned in the clip and finally gave up drinking over a decade ago because the results of drinking alcohol were just so unpleasant. I have met a few other people who never drink alcohol, for the same reasons I gave up, and now wonder if the missing enzyme issue might also occur with other ethnic groups. Thank you for providing the medical explanation for the condition.
+Northstander The missing enzyme occurs in all ethnic groups. But it is far more prevalent in East Asians.
Wow this was so educational!! I love your videos, they are so well made, explain topics amazingly and teach me new things!!
Both my parents are southeast asian ( filipino) and my mom turns red when she drinks about 2 glasses of wine and my dad turns red if he's not drinking.
When she flushed, I flushed too
i have a crush on Joss
You and everyone else.
Can you pop an alcohol dehydrogenase pill before a night out so you have that enzyme working for you in the background?
I think the flush added good color , a healthy complexion, looks better than the before drinking photos .
the girl in the middle doesn't even look bad by having a red face it makes her look better. even the other people don't look bad in this pic after the "Asian flush".
+Tuber it's not about the looks. it's about the side effects man.
SONGLOVERS yeah that's true.
+Tuber It looked like the colours on the before pics of all of the people were messed up (slightly desaturated or yellowed), you can the the differences not just in the faces but the clothing and hair.
+Tuber It looks unnatural if you ask me, but far more notably than the face is the eyes. It's clear there is a problem there, it definitely looks unhealthy (But there's still a bias since I know it's causing problems for her body).
Tuber ikr
That explanation was so well done. Hopped into chemistry, DNA, and health and I got it all in one quick ball of info
I already knew this, it was taught in my college. It's due to the fact that Asian people normally have a slight deficiency in one of the enzymes that helps break down alcohol in the body, and it accumulates, and they get a "blushed look". Europeans on the other hand are equipped with very functional enzymes and are one of the populations that can take alcohol better.
Fun stuff! :)
I'm Japanese and my face gets really red when drunk, although I enjoy drinking.
