There’s no party without free-flowing alcohol, right? We have to admit, we like a few filled glasses over gossip sessions with our BFFs every once in a while. But here’s the thing, alcohol might increase the fun quotient of your night out but too much of it is certainly doing bad things to your skin. Want to know how? Read on to find out!
1. Wrinkles
One of the biggest fears we have is that our skin will soon start sagging. You don’t want your skin to start looking lifeless and old right? Well, alcohol dehydrates your body. It forces your kidneys to work overtime to remove excess water thereby leaving your skin completely dry. This is when the moisture from your skin disappears making it look less plump and fresh. With time, your skin starts losing its elasticity. Moreover, alcohol has a bad impact on the Vitamin A levels of your body, which is extremely important for collagen, the protein that keeps your skin soft and supple.
2. Acne
If you’ve been enjoying too many cocktails with your girls lately and have been waking up to pimples, you should know that there is a connection between these two. Drinks are filled with added sugar which spikes your insulin levels, causing inflammation that ultimately takes the form of unsightly acne. So go easy on those cocktails next time you step out.

3. Hair loss
Ever thought that alcohol could affect your hair too? Well, it’s totally possible that the hair you’re losing is the after-effects of your alcohol consumption. This is because alcohol can cause a deficiency of zinc in your system, which can lead to hair loss. So it will be a wise idea to think twice before filling your wine glass every now and then.
