sometimes described as some of the “worst drinkers” in the world — but it’s not for lack of trying. About half the population carries a genetic trait that makes it harder for the body to break down alcohol properly.<\/p>\n <p>That means a flushed face, a racing heart, headaches, and nausea can show up faster and more intensely than they would for many other people. So if you’re trying to bond with Taiwanese friends, you might want a plan B that isn’t drinking.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"word-card\" id=\"hui\">\n <div

sometimes described as some of the “worst drinkers” in the world — but it’s not for lack of trying. About half the population carries a genetic trait that makes it harder for the body to break down alcohol properly.<\/p>\n <p>That means a flushed face, a racing heart, headaches, and nausea can show up faster and more intensely than they would for many other people. So if you’re trying to bond with Taiwanese friends, you might want a plan B that isn’t drinking.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"word-card\" id=\"hui\">\n <div
