Answer 5

Alcohol use and abuse affects many organs in the body. On the skin, alcohol causes dilation of surface capillaries (tiny blood vessels), resulting in facial flushing and a pinkish-red hue to the cheeks. With chronic use of alcohol, the face and nose will sustain flushing and appear red.

Answer 6

not all alcoholics have or will get big red noses, we used to call ones with that condition, winos,cause they drank wine from morning till night. I can only guess.

Answer 7

The way I understand it is that long term excessive drinking causes blood pressure problems and a side effect is that the blood vessels in the nose show this more than other parts of the body.

Answer 8

Heavy drinking causes the capillaries in the extremities to burst and the blood can leak into the surrounding tissue, making the skin look red and swollen. Alcohol is one of the most harmful drugs if it is abused. It can affect virtually all the tissues in the body.

Answer 9
