I'm half asian and I get the "Asian flush" [0] which for all intents and purposes induces the same effect as this drug (DSF)

>Individuals who experience the alcohol flushing reaction may be less prone to alcoholism. Disulfiram, a drug sometimes given as treatment for alcoholism, works by inhibiting acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, causing a five to tenfold increase in the concentration of acetaldehyde in the body. The resulting irritating flushing reaction tends to discourage affected individuals from drinking.[9][10]

I literally have a negative feedback loop from drinking alcohol, it makes me feel really bad, my skin flushes, I feel my heartbeat in my chest/neck/head, and I literally feel miserable.

Honestly, it kind of sucks, because when you can't drink you notice how much socialising is based around alcohol. I've found ways to cope with this and am on good terms with myself now but it really took me a long time. Especially to get around the social/peer pressure of having to drink.

On the bright side, I'll likely never become an alcoholic.

Interesting article, thanks!

The effect you describe is only one of the effects of antabuse. The others are substantially worse (in that they are extremely painful and in that they can be medically quite severe).

The mechanism is similar, you're right, but not quite the same.
