well... research doesnt show flushing is necessarily going to stop drinking.  As a
pretty much non drinker none of my Chinese friends nor my Japanese relatives ever
offered my a "drink" nor drank in my presence so I have no basis of saying if they
were intolerant or not, abstainers or not.  

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, (Chi, Lubben and Kitano,
1989; Kitano and Chi, 1986; Lubben, Chi and Kitano, 1988; Chi and Kitano,1989) have
studied drinking among Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Pilipinos in Los Angeles. The
combined studies showed that abstinence among these groups was high:

Abstaining Men Women
Japanese  17%  27%
Pilipinos     19%  55%
Chinese      21%  51%
Koreans      45% 75%

Heavy Drinking
Chinese      14%  1%
Koreans      26%  1%
Pilipinos      29%  3.5%
Japanese    29%  11/7%
The researchers concluded that while the results confirmed the traditional view of
Asian women as abstainers or light drinkers, they also revealed a considerable amount

heavy drinking among men, particularly Japanese and Koreans, possibly as high as the
general U.S. population. There is lack of similar data available for other Asian
Pacific groups.
