Does Alcohol Age Your Face – Can drinking make you look older?
Scroll down for the video.
As you may know, I was a daily heavy drinker for over twenty years, I would sink between one and three bottles of red wine every evening often washed down with beer or spirits. The only occasions where I didn’t drink were the times when I was laid up in bed with the flu or when I was in a situation where it was literally impossible to get my hands on my booze.

During the time I was drinking I didn’t pay attention to the effect that alcohol was having on my face and skin. All I cared about was drinking, not what the alcohol might be doing to me, I just ignored warnings about the dangers as they simply wanted to spoil my fun.
But as time went by (two decades in fact), my anxiety was sky rocketing and I couldn’t get myself into a place where I felt at peace and truly happy in my life. The more I searched for happiness, the more I kept coming back to my relationship with alcohol and how it might be impacting on me.
After a couple of particularly horrible hangovers which included my hands shaking uncontrollably at my desk while I was at work, I decided I need to make a change if I didn’t want to die before the age of 50. So I started to educate myself about what an alcohol-free life might look like, I started to read quit alcohol books and began learning the tactics and strategies to quit drinking successfully on my own.
'Your windshield is bigger than your rearview for a reason; the mirror is there to help you glance back at where you’ve been, but if you focus too much on it, you’re going to crash.
We are ALL affected by our past and we are ALL reminded of it now and again, but we cannot live in it unless we want to repeat it over and over again. We need to learn from it, take lessons from it, know what’s good (and not good) for us, and adjust accordingly. Mistakes are only mistakes until we learn from them and then they become lessons.'
Love this from the Your Tango blog, it sums up the need for a forward focused growth mindset in sobriety and life in general.

Having an amazing time in #Japan and managed to head south out of Tokyo for a few days today to Kamakura by the ocean.
The drinking culture here is totally different to the UK, but all the bars are full, not many AF options either, but I wouldn’t want to visit such an amazing place and spoil it by boozing.

Eventually I felt ready to try and leave alcohol behind me, it was tough, this was a habit I had carried with me for a very long time and it was a big change. I believed alcohol was what enabled me to have fun, to de-stress and to relax and suddenly I felt naked with just a tonic water and lime to see me through.
But after a few setbacks, several teary meltdowns and a little sprinkle of willpower I managed to get to a place where I felt like I didn’t want to drink again. I found freedom and I have never looked back.
Thankfully at the start, before I quit I had taken a few selfies, when I took these photos I thought I looked perfectly fine. But when I took another after 30 days alcohol-free I couldn’t believe the difference.
- My eyes no longer had darkness underneath them.
- My face was no longer bloated.
- The redness on my skin had faded.
- My skin looked ‘glowing’ – well a couple of people told me it did.
- My eyes seemed brighter and more alive.
So if all this had changed on the outside, imagine what must be going on inside my body?
