Next morning his friend asked him to have breakfast and found that he was already dead. The police did a field investigation and found that the man choke to death because of the vomits on the floor. What a pity. I am a girl who has poor drinking capacity. Every time I drink wine or Chinese liquor, my face blushes. I have a friend who is a doctor. He told me that my face blushed because there was something wrong with my metabolic capability. The alcohol goes into the bloodstream when we drink. Then the alcohol changes into acetaldehyde with the help of alcohol dehydrogenase secreted by the liver. Then acetaldehyde dehydrogenase decomposes acetaldehyde into acetic acid. At last, another kind of enzyme in the liver decomposes acetic acid into carbon dioxide and water. People like me are lack of alcohol dehydrogenase. As a result, alcohol can’t be decomposed into acetaldehyde, which makes my face blush. My friend warned me that I should avoid drinking wine and Chinese liquor. If I keep drinking liquor or wine, I will have my liver hurt. If it is getting worse, there will be something wrong with my heart and brain. People whose faces get white when they drink are lack of both alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The more alcohol you drink, the more oxygen is consumed during the process of the process of metabolism. It’s the reason why your face turns white. Some people believe that they can enhance their drinking capacity if they drink more and more wine or liquor. It’s true that your body tolerance to alcohol can be improved temporarily but your body will be hurt if you keep drinking. Outwardly your face can tell whether you can drink liquor or not. Inherently, your genes have already decided how much liquor you can drink because you can’t increase your alcohol and acetaldehyde dehydrogenases.

If you did say it, you might have offended him. Your behavior (turning down his proposal makes him lose face).

It's good to think of others, but others too, need to think of us. While smokers have the right to smoke at the same time non smokers also need to be respected. There is no compulsion in either smoking or drinking, or even eating. It is up to an individual to choose or to decline. Just be sincere to ourselves and health.

In one of the social gatherings, I was offered a cigarette by one CEO but I politely declined the offer, informing him I never smoke and dislike smoking. He put back his pack of cigarettes in his pocket and apologised.

I know that my Grandmother (from Ireland) and my Wife (Han Chinese) turn red when they've had a bit too much, so perhaps genetics has something to do with it. Moderation in all things, but realize what is moderate for a big man is not moderate for a petite young woman. Regularly drinking to intoxication will eventually kill you.
