If I have a beer, like the first of of the day/night I get really hot round my neck and face and my eyes water slightly. I heard that Chinses people get the same type of thing. Anyone know what it is?

Post menopausal women often get it...and when i went for a kidney scan they injected a dense fluid and i got flushes from that too.
You shold really be avoiding alcohol the first and last thing of the day. Start with a glass of water. Chinese ppl get drunk, not hot flushes!!!
As for getting red in the face, I get that a bit, if its really serious though you could always stop drinking.
As for drinking with SSRI's as I assume that your young your doctor will most probally have given you one you can drink with. Sertraline I think its called is one of the more widely prescribed ones. I would drink too heavily with it though and if you have been given prozac (relatively unlikely) then dont drink at all.
I'm male and 21 tho.
Fluoxetine, or Prozac as it's more commonly known magnifies the effects of alcohol, so you really do have to be careful how much you drink. Another thing to take note of is that alcohol is a depressent and can affect your mood.
