So after this post a few of you commented and asked if we thought Tila was mistaking her "alcohol allergy" with Alcohol Flush Reaction, or Asian Glow. Well obviously there's no way we can know for sure, but frankly that's what I'm thinking. That's certainly what it sounds like from this video:


Alcohol flush reaction (colloquially referred to as Asian Flush or Asian Glow) is a condition in which the face and/or body experiences flushes or blotches, due to a missense polymorphism that encodes the enzyme, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) ^[1], normally responsible for breaking down acetaldehyde, a product of the metabolism of alcohol.^[2] Flushing, or blushing, is associated with the erythema (reddening caused by dilation of capillaries) of the face, neck, shoulder, and in some cases, the entire body after consumption of alcohol.

Well, there's no way we can know. And, really, it doesn't matter. I don't think Tila is lying about this, I think she's just stupid. I know, big shock, right? I mean, she's been saying a lot lately that she's glowing...

But here's something funny I found. Not funny "haha," more funny like how you never forget the image from walking in on your parents doin' it when you were 6. Sorry for bringing that up (no, I'm not really sorry, I'm laughing at you). Anyway, we've all heard Tila tell the story of how she got the name "Tequila." Sometimes it's because "it's ironic," because she can't drink. Here's an article from nbc San Diego:

Here's a clip from the Tyra show (thanks to Nicole Allen for the heads up), where Tila tells us the story of drinking with her little girlfriends and getting sick.


But in an older blog from the hotspot, the very same one that gave us "Chunks my baby," Tila gives us a very different story:


Let's just ignore Tila basically saying she was drinking in juvie...

So Tila, is there anything that you don't lie about? You lie about the most ridiculous and STUPID things. What could you possibly have to gain by lying about how you got the name "Tila Tequila?" Do you think you gain street cred? Because no matter what, you're still a tiny, pathetic little midget that NOBODY IS AFRAID OF.
