September 08, 2007, 09:11 AMI'd like to add that it's not just Chinese girls who turn red at the merest whiff of alcohol (I speak as a good Chinese boy.....). But just to back up tvan, it's true that there's a genetic deficiency in one of the enzymes that breaks down alcohol by-products that's more common among Asians and results in flushing, palpitations etc. Or at least that's my excuse... although that doesn't seem to stop Asian businessmen from drinking like fish....

September 19, 2007, 08:30 PMOK, so I'm slightly concerned that the poddie in question might actually have been me, in response to one of the Dear Amber shows. What did they say in the email? "Extra-smart" and "uber-technical"? Yeah, must have been me alright.... ha ha. Incidentally, at the risk of further propagating this (wholly inaccurate, of course) geeky image, it's not my theory, it's well recognized in genetics. See, e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldehyde_dehydrogenase OK, I'll stop now.....
