What are proven ways to prevent an alcohol flush reaction?
Have you ever taken Pepsid AC to combat the redness? Ever wondered why that works? Pepsid AC is an antihistamine, an H2-blocker, that blocks the dilation of blood vessels near the skin that causes flushing. Studies show that antihistamines like Pepsid or Zantac do effectively block the effect of alcohol-induced flushing, but the true interactions between these drugs and alcohol are not fully known. My advice is to listen to your body: if you start feeling sick with high heartrate, dizziness, nausea, total body itching and flushing, you need to stop ingesting more alcohol at that point. The safest ways to combat alcohol induced flushing include: not drinking completely, drinking in moderation, using green-tinted primer under a slightly lighter toned foundation or BB cream, and of course, using those handy Instagram filters to your advantage.

How does alcohol affects the reaction time of the nervous system?
Because alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. The blood stream carries alcohol directly to our brain where it acts to slow down or depress brain activity. The remaining 80% is processed only slightly and absorbed into the blood stream more slowly through the gastro-intestinal tract. Alcohol gets into the blood stream so quickly that moments after it is consumed, it can be found in all of our tissues, organs and secretions of our body. Higher blood alcohol levels depress brain activity to a point where memory as well as muscular coordination and balance are temporarily impaired. If steady heavy drinking continues with no limit, the alcohol will penetrate the deepest levels of the brain and may result in coma or death.
