Red face or white face after drinking, which one is more drinkable?
There are many people whose whole face becomes red as soon as they drink alcohol, and some people have a very scary face after drinking, so is it good to be white or blush after drinking? After drinking, red face and white face, which kind of person can drink more?
Blushing after drinking alcohol is a problem caused by telangiectasia after alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde, so there is no direct link between alcohol intake and blush.
After drinking alcohol, people who are pale are due to the lack of two enzymes in the body, and there is no way to quickly metabolize the absorbed ethanol, so there will be no blushing. But because too much ethanol accumulates and inhibits the nervous system, it will be easy for them to get drunk while drinking.
On the whole, people who drink wine and blush have faster alcohol metabolism and better absorption efficiency of alcohol, and relatively speaking, this kind of person will be more able to drink.
