Years of drinking turn skin red
( 2003-08-14 10:47) (China Daily)
A man in Chongqing who drank at least 500 grams of distilled spirits every
day for more than a decade now suffers from reddening skin and has difficulty
speaking, reports Huaxi Metro News.
Tang, 55, never used to drink at all. Then one winter 13 years ago he heard
that a special herbal liquor would alleviate his arthritis, so he bought some
and has been a slave to it ever since.
But last month Tang woke up to find his face, neck and arms covered in
extensive red patches, and the colouring continued to intensify with each
passing day.
