I have been able to drink alcohol from last 5 years suddenly I get facial flushing and rapid heartbeat after drinking. Is this is alcohol intolerance or asian flush? And please don't tell me to avoid alcohol .Please tell.

Bright red skin after drinking, caused by dilated capillaries, is almost certainly an example of the alcohol flush reaction, related to the incomplete metabolism of alcohol.
