As many as one in two persons of Asian descent possess non-functional copies of the liver enzyme (ALDH-2) needed to process acetaldehyde. Even a single cocktail can lead to Asian flush, a painful and embarrassing condition resulting from acetaldehyde levels shooting up 6 to 20 times that of people with normal ALDH-2. This burst of acetaldehyde triggers facial flushing, elevated heart rate, headache, nausea, dizziness and vomiting.
Although most with this condition view it as a minor inconvenience, it has been suggested that those with alcohol flush reaction may be at higher risk for alcohol related conditions such as liver disease, asthma, and cancer of the esophagus. Among flushers who are heavy drinkers the incidence of upper gastrointestinal tract cancer is about 50 times higher than normal. Higher rates of head and neck cancer have also been noted.
A functional shot/mixer supplement has garnered strong anecdotal evidence of efficacy against this condition. Google: "Cheerz IntellIShot Asian flush"

Strictest parents ever. Hates grades less than an A, always think you are stupid when you aren't thought something, makes you imitate everything they do, and acts surprised when they teach you something bad. They hate giving you any amount of freedom, and must only let you use electronics on Friday and Saturday.
Here is how they grade grades:
A-Good, but still slaps you in the face
B-Vigourous beating
C-Starves you to near death
D-No food or sleep for a month
F-Bullet to the face and/or decapitation and/or slams your head into a wall
Asian parents are also racist and have hyperinflated superiority complexes.
Also, the irony is, they only want you to have a good life, but they ruin your life by controlling you like a ragdoll
