Who else feels like their face is on fire when they drink?

I barely drank any of this long island iced tea thing and I feel like I'm on fire. My face feels red hot.

The technical term for this condition is “alcohol flush reaction.” Most of the time, the flushing happens because you have trouble digesting alcohol completely. People who flush when they drink might have a faulty version of the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene.
