If you get red faced when consuming alcohol or any of these other allergy to alcohol symptoms you may have Asian Glow or Asian Flush

The best way I can describe what an allergic reaction to alcohol feels like is it feels like you are having a stroke. Symptoms after consuming alcohol (if you have Asian Blush or Asian Glow) can include:

-hives
-a rash that looks like red patches on parts of your body
-swelling
-redness of skin (particularly face)
-swelling or itchiness of the face

and more severe reaction can be

-vomiting
-diarrhea
-swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat leading to wheezing or difficulty breathing

The reason for the allergic reactions to alcohol is a lack of the particular enzyme which metabolisms alcohol and not a 'real' allergy at least as medicine defines allergy. Alcohol reactions such as this are often referred to as Asian Flush or Asian Glow or Asian Girl Glow for a good reason... Nearly half of the Asian population has this condition which corroborates the idea that this allergic reaction to alcohol is indeed genetic.

Because the symptoms of alcohol allergy can be so annoying and even embarrassing (bright red face) people who suffer from this are much less likely to ever have a problem with alcohol addiction.

Latest scientific evidence suggests that individuals who are Aldehyde Dehydrogenase deficient ALSO have elevated risk for stomach and throat cancer.

There IS a 'cure' to alcohol allergy (besides quitting drinking). Some people take Zantac or Pepcid prior to the consumption of alcohol to reduce allergic reactions but its effectiveness (by itself) is unreliable and varies from use to use.

The one solution to alcohol allergy and its symptoms is called 'The Alcohol Allergy Cure' and is reported to work 100% of the time in all people who have tried it.
