Does drinking a lot of alcohol ruin the skin?

Question

does it damage the skin

does it cause acne and skin marks

does it cause wrinles

Answer 1

This is why drinkers sometimes have a flushed face and heavy drinkers a red nose.

As well as causing the skin to turn pink, alcohol also makes the skin feel warm, which is why one of its traditional uses has been to treat people who have been exposed to the cold. Brandy especially is supposed to warm the body.

The fact is, alcohol has the opposite effect. This dilation of vessels actually causes heat loss from the extremities, which makes you more vulnerable to the cold. The vessels constrict in the first place to conserve heat, a defence the alcohol undoes.

Answer 2

It'll dry you out and make you wrinkly :(

Answer 3

I can tell you one thing for sure drinking alot of achohol seems to increase the ageing process by makeing you look twenty years older than you are. My younger Brother proved that to me because when he turned fifty years old he looked like he was 70 years old and the same for alot of my old drinking buddies. I quit when i was in my late 20's

Answer 4

I say yes cause alcohol ages you  

Answer 5

Yes.

This is because alcohol is a strong dehydrating agent. It will draw water out of your body and if you drink regularly, your body will get used to the process after some time.

This can cause the cells in your face to become flaccid, causing wrinkles to appear more easily.

Alcohol abuse also leads to severe depression and other classes of mental disorders, which will affect the way you maintain your body. Blotchy skin may be a result of your psychological form (which is dysfunctional in this case)

Drinking alcohol prohibits your body's ability to absorb the vitamins it needs to keep your skin healthy.

Alcohol also widens blood vessels and increases blood flow to the skin, which can lead to thread veins, a reddened 'drinker's nose' and the skin condition rosacea, which causes a red rash or flushed complexion.

The skin condition psoriasis, which leads to red scaly patches over the body, can be another side effect of heavy drinking.

Answer 6

Over a long time, it will give you wrincles... I think. When you get really drunk your whole body gets dehydrated, and all your organs have to work harder. Your skin gets wrincled.

Then you sleep a few good nights, and they all go away.



so... DRINK UP!

Answer 7

Yes, it can.  Alcohol dehydrates you.
