I am an Associate Professor at Stanford University who studies the health impact of alcohol intolerance. Intolerance to alcohol causes facial flushing and increased heart rate when alcohol is consumed. This is due to the accumulation of an alcohol metabolite acetaldehyde. Nearly 540 million people in the world have alcohol intolerance.
A number of strategies are on the market to treat alcohol flushing after alcohol consumption. However, none of these strategies have been rigorously tested in people to see if they are effective in reducing alcohol flushing. With your support, let's test these strategies used to treat alcohol flushing scientifically to see if any of these are effective!
