Why I don’t (really) drink anymore. Asian Flush/Glow
Welcome to But Where Are You From?... A podcast by a late 20-something millennial learning about life as a British Born Chinese. I’m Viv, the host of the podcast. I talk about life as a British Born Chinese (BBC); from family life, to work, dating, relationships, food, racism, and general culture. I talk about Asian flush or Asian glow and the embarrassing stories I recall of looking bright red, feeling sick, BEING sick, heart rate beating faster than when I do exercise. I tell the story of being grounded for 6 months when my mum found out I was drinking vodka on the streets haha! In all seriousness, it’s gotten me to the point where I rarely drink now, because, cba! I used to take Zantac but spoiler alert, apparently it might be carcinogenic too. Great. As always, I wanna hear your stories. Are you lucky enough to be the 30-50% who are intolerant to alcohol?! Or has it never affected you and you can drink to your heart’s content?! Slide into my DMs and keep the conversation going! https://www.instagram.com/vivthediv/ Jingle by the talented John Clapper: https://www.instagram.com/john_clapper Sound production by my brother in law Leo Wong - in the words of Leo: 'Jesus, the audio is a nightmare.
