Hi I just read about this pill RU-21 and it says it cures hangovers.
To do this it says it contains succinic acid which "stops the body from producing an enzyme that turns alcohol into acetaldehyde, the toxic by-product of alcohol that damages body tissues"
I have also heard that acetaldehyde causes many Asians to have a "red face" when intoxicated because they don't have an enzyme (aldehyde dehydrogenase 2) to stop it. Has anyone tried these? Is anyone Asian who get's red faced? I would like to know if these pills actually work and also if they can cure that damn red face of mine!

Thanks
