whenever i drink my heart beats like 10x as fast... is that normal? after 2 beers i feel like i'm gonna have a heartattack.

[corter]

i've never really considered how truly life-shattering rape can be. i need to watch a heartwrenching docudrama about the struggle of inner-city black women to come back after rape or something.

that will teach me.

yea, it like...threw her into alcoholism and terrible things like that. really sucks, i'm trying to do as much as i can, she's a good good friend i just lost touch with

i'll bet you glow brighter than hong kong on chinese new year.

[evisu 2000]

yeah pretty much haha.

[High Monika]

Mass: same thing happens to me. As an azn I find it impossible to avoid having a racing heart/racing breath. It's really a matter of delaying it until the end of the night. I just slow roll drinking instead of binging like a college freshman and NO shots or red bull/rockstar drinks.

To avoid the redness (aka Asian Flush) take a Pepcid AC or generic version at least an hour ahead of time. I had a Pre-med major tell me that azns lack an enzyme to deal with alcohol which causes the redness. Pepcid/generic works for me. Just don't slam drinks or take rough shots or it won't work.

I have a white friend who turns red. She takes Benadryl beforehand and it works but then you have to deal with passing out at the bar because Benadryl makes you drowsy as shit.

[jl3969]

this is why you smoke weed and pop half a bar before you drink. one or two beers and youre already gone. no need to turn into a latern.

I do not lack this enzyme. I don't turn red until about 12 shots of vodka.

I wish I didn't have lactose intolerance though. Fuck.

[evisu 2000]

yeah sidneylo told me about the pepcid ac shit. anyway turning red isn't really a problem, i turn red pretty much instantly... my heart still races though.

[conan.]

i think recently i realized i am a ridiculously awkward person..

[Lab]

I wish I didn't have lactose intolerance though. Fuck.

hardest thing ive ever had to come to terms with

i still keep quart of milk in the fridge

to remind me. it's still there if i need it.

still there.

mrip enjoys white man soy milk, and as such, enjoys cereal with his vanilla silk. someone slap that desi.

Normally, alcohol is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase and Asians have a less active allele than the one found in European populations. Basically Asian glow is an allergic reaction to the buildup of acetylaldehyde that our bodies can't metabolize properly. It's believed that the antihistamine effects of the Pepcid fights the reaction.

[Guest winq]

i don't turn red, but i get drunk after like 5 beers.

i'm getting my lucky strikes tomorrow and i'm so fucking happy, no more shitty parliaments.

[Servo2000]

I want to fuck my underaged neighbor in very serious and intelligient fashions.

I CHOOSE YOU SUPERFUTURE

THIS IS STILL UNANSWERED! SUFU HAS FAILED.

She won't let me wear my Lang in bed, so I'm only half-failing.

[Servo2000]

For some reason I find hoarding cash more appealing than buying clothes at the moment. I have more than enough to buy pretty much everything I want at the moment but I like logging into paypal and staring at my balance.

I'm guessing I don't really want it as badly as I thought I did.

[m1sterko]

i have constant dreams of me lighting up cigs.

shall i fall into temptation

the feeling of the cherry close to my fingers... i miss it

[High Monika]

I wish I didn't have lactose intolerance though. Fuck.

I remember when a friend majoring in Sociology told me a huge percentage of asians are lactose intolerant. Thought he was just making a weird, boring joke. Thank god I'm not. Reminds me - I have some strawberry ice cream. Mmmmmmm.

...Indeed? Ima trust you on this. If it is antihistamine effects helping that explains why Benadryl helps too, maybe?

[dismalfuture]

I don't think Benadryl works but then again it might, I try to avoid that stuff because u get the weird dreams and I tend to sleep hard after liquor. I get red about 1 out of 10 drinking sessions, so I just try to keep my body heat low before hit the hard stuff. If it's 100 degrees out and I'm jumping around pounding shots or drinking room temp beers I'll get all red, but if I ease into it, drink 4 or 5 cold beers and then start my drinks, I'm alright.

Cultures descended from peoples who consumed little dairy (much of China, for instance) or who turned their milk into mature cheese (which removes the lactose) tend to be lactose intolerant. It's a genetic trait that's highly prevalent among certain groups.

[m1sterko]

you are not alone out there!

in other blurbs (from wiki):

50% of the Pacific Rim Asian population inherit a mutant ADH known as ADH2*2 that leads to faster-than-normal degradation of ethanol to acetaldehyde. ADH deformities are not usually found in Caucasians, Native Americans, etc (Agarwal and Goedde, 1992). Moreover, 45-53% of the Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, and Korean population possess a mutant ALDH2 known as ALDH2*2, which is only 8% as effective as the normal, wild-type enzyme (ALDH*1).

[dismalfuture]

so what you're tryin to say is that I'm CHINEE? is taht right muthafucka?

[poly800rock]

ever since coming back from my vacation, i really want to keep going again. I go in lulls. there are times I love being back, but right now, I could really throw in the towel and try and live abroad again.

[m1sterko]

hmmm ppl need to sell more stuff on supermarkeeeet

[Charlie Delta]

so i'm talking to an old friend/ flame. thought she hated me, just decided to send her a text...turns out she'd been raped and didn't hate me, just had to get through everything and didnt want to put me through it

so i feel like absolute shit

Ah man, that's tough to hear.

Never stop listening!

[knucks]

The see you next tuesday did not call. damn her.

Unfortunately, I have no one lined up to poke tonight, this is a problem.

call him. are like all of your posts girl related confessionals?

[whitney]

So far every doctor I've had/seen has been a screw up or an asshole or a "I can't believe he passed the mcat" except for my oncologist, who is excellent, love him but he isn't a general practioner.

I hate doctors/dentists.

Anyways my jaw has finally gotten so bad that I'm going to have to see a doctor (in approx) 3 hrs. I wake up every 4 hrs cos the pain killer wears off and I can't sleep its effing throbbing.

Its a new one that's suppose to be good (where have I heard this before) but I can't avoid it anymore.

I'm kinda scared

*goes and pops in pain killers*

Good night

[dismalfuture]

Hit up ya girl Disillusioned, she's this forum's expert on metal jaws. And being that she's an Eastern European hooker, she probably knows how to handle the little jaw pains as well.

knucks, don't ever post in superconfessional again, unless you commit heinous sin, and then we will be waiting. Your completely boring thoughts about girls and lack of confidence/success is like seeing my 14 year old self's thoughts written out on a computer screen, and that is something that most guys don't want/need to readdress, it's the middle/high school diary I never kept. You keep those kind of thoughts to yourself, and then visit this thread when you actually get one in the end zone, this is the area for endzone dancing and/or admitting you are a terrible person. Not a ""oh no I don't have a liquor hookup!""oh no a complete stranger isn't calling me back at exactly a prescribed moment begging for sex!" thread.

[dismalfuture]

and have a nice day.

[destructodisk]

I don't want to go to work today for some reason, so I have been inventing ways to call in sick while in bed, and now I am late.

So now I don't know if I should just go and be late, or GO ALL THE WAY and call in sick.
