Imagine this.
Mongoloids drank mare’s milk (qumis) for mental and physical alcoholic effects. People with the ALDH2*2 genotype, like Mongoloids and Japanese, will experience a lower blood pressure and facial flush after drinking alcohol.
If a person is 'sensitive' enough, they will notice their peripheral vascular system dilates, which gives a warm feeling.
In science speak, "A single intake of alcohol therefore mainly acts to lower the BP, at least in Japanese men. As this depressor effect varies according to race and the presence and absence of alcohol flush, genetic variation in ALDH2 activity seems to have a major function. It has been shown that subjects with the ALDH2*2 genotype, which is common in Mongoloids but rare in Caucasians and Africans, show facial flush after drinking alcohol because of the accumulation of vasodilative acetaldehyde"

Acetaldehyde also enhances histamine and bradykinin release, which causes your blood vessels to widen (known as vasodilation). This often manifests as increased skin temperature and flushing
