The adverse effects of Asian Flush are very underestimated. No only can Asian Flush affect your social life dramatically, it can also influence you work life to various degrees. Doesn't it seem strange that "not drinking" can affect your career in a negative way? Individuals with Asian flush are left in a bit of a conundrum.
A few beers after work is tradition in many cultures, wether it be Chinese, American, English or otherwise. Especially for men, but more and more these days for women as well, punch- in in the clock on a Friday is immediately followed by dinner and drinks and the local. For individuals with Asian flush, this is difficult to do.
Now, of course, "not drinking" is always possible, but it depends on the particular culture you're from, and which crowd you hang out with, how acceptable this behaviour is. It may be brushed off as a choice of the individual, or understood that he or she has a condition called Asian flush, but it might also be seen as a refusal to participate socially, a lack of brotherhood spirit, or an unwillingness to participate in a team.
Especially when leaders or bosses are present, a lack of participation in outside activities can be looked upon negatively. Although these things take place outside of work, how we act outside of the office, whether it be in a positive or negative light can reflect on how others treat us at the office.
So again, people with Asian flush have the difficult of position of explaining their condition to their colleagues who may misunderstand exactly what it is, not drinking and risking their social status amongst colleagues and friends, or drinking and turning red or worse.
