It's been covered before... many of us asians are missing the enzyme that breaks down the alcohol so it remains coursing through our system... which is why sometimes after 1 beer or even < one beer we feel it. Other ethnicities have the enzyme so when they drink alcohol their body breaks it down so they don't feel the effects unless they consume a large enough quantity.

There's nothing you can do because it's genetic.

In my case, one drop of alcohol, beer, wine, or hard liquor, and i can feel it... think Barney from the Simpsons lol. You might as well hook up a needle and inject alcohol directly into my veins as that's what it feels like.
