i read somewhere it has to do with enzymes, or the lack thereof. two kinds of enzymes can be more likely missing in asians (as compared to other races). one breaks down alcohol -- without it, you don\'t necessary get drunk faster but the alcohol instantly hits your face/neck. the other has to do with digesting dairy products. without it, you get diarrhea after drinking milk for example. it\'s not a universal problem for asian. i have lots of friends who can drink bottles of liquor without getting drunk. as for myself, my face turns red with a sip of beer. fortunately, i am fine with milk...
