Asian glow is simply a reaction that results from drinking alcohol, so those who suffer from flushes are thought to have sensitivity to alcoholic beverages. The catabolic metabolism of alcohol in the body of the one who drinks alcohol leads to the accumulation of an organic chemical compound in the blood stream known as acetaldehyde that is used to determine the severity level of the flush after drinking alcohol. Asian glow increases the risk of being infected with esophageal cancer.

Asian glow has taken this name because it is more common among Asian people. The rs671 form of ALDH2 gene -which is the main cause of the problem that leads to increasing flushes as a result of drinking alcohol- is rarely found among African and European people. It is thought that there is no cure for flush reaction and this is because the main cause of the problem is genetic deficiency.
