Alcohol Flush in People of Irish Descent? (2 posts)

satiestar EndUser Posted 01.31.10	I'm of Irish heritage and I've noticed that a lot of my family members, including myself, get Alcohol Flush. My brother and I get a rash that looks as if we were slapped across both cheeks! I see that it's more common in Asian people, but how about Irish?
