Since 90% of BoS is asian I thought I'd ask.. how do you guys deal with asian flush? I heard there are some tablets you can buy at the supermarkets which help.

Abstinence is the only solution!

 

[Mature Lamb]

not an option

means i would have to be designated driver

im not a big fan of driving people home whilst they're drunk

 

[Shadowdude]

What? I've prepared myself for that role =P

It's great because you get to eat while they are getting drunk. I hear pub grub is quite nice actually.

A bottle of Hennessy should do the trick.

Can't believe there is actually a wiki article on this.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that ingestion of low doses of heartburn medicine, containing ranitidine or famotidine (such as Zantac or Pepcid AC), may be able to relieve the body of the symptoms if taken 30–60 minutes before drinking.[6] Although, ranitidine has been proven in studies to significantly increase blood alcohol content levels. Care should be given before driving or operating heavy machinery.

It is a Win Win situation.

Go to a chemist and ask somebody with half a clue.

Medicine advice off BOS = recipe for death.
