The mental health nurse recognizes that genetic intolerance of alcohol has been documented in patient history of ethnic groups belonging to Asians.

Genetic Intolerance of Alcohol

Alcohol sensitivity is another term for alcohol intolerance.

  • A person with alcohol intolerance may believe that they become inebriated too rapidly, but their body is unable to break down alcohol in the same manner that a person without the illness would.

Alcohol intolerance is sometimes mistaken for alcohol allergy.

  • While alcohol intolerance is a metabolic issue that is handed down via your genes, alcohol allergy is more about how your immune system reacts to certain chemicals in alcohol.

Alcohol intolerance is a metabolic disease with no known treatment.

  • While its symptoms might be annoying and unpleasant, they are seldom deadly.
  • Because the illness is also genetically inherited, there is little you can do to avoid it.

People of Asian ancestry are more likely to carry the inherited genetic mutation that causes alcohol intolerance.

So, the correct answer is Asians.

One of the two enzymes principally involved in the metabolism of alcohol, Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH), is only found in Asians and does not exist in Caucasians or African-Americans. When drinking alcohol, those who have two copies of the faulty gene experience extreme flushing and other unpleasant side effects, such as nausea. Additionally, these individuals react to alcohol more strongly but not always in a negative way as shown by physiological and psychological tests. Alcohol use causes typical abnormalities in brain activity in those with faulty gene variation causing intolerances in Asians more than any other ethnic group.

<span>A panic attack. I've experienced them and they are not fun at all. They can either be triggered by something seemingly small or even nothing at all. If you are having a panic attack, while it's preferable not to have to go to the hospital, it's better to get checked out and find out that it's a panic attack than to not go and find out it's a heart attack. While it may not be what you think it is, the symptoms are real, and should be treated as such. There is no reason to feel guilty for being concerned with your health.</span>
