Best see: a Dermatologist! It shoulnds like youmay have ACMNE ROSACEA which may be associated with alcohol use/abuse but may also occur in non-drinkers and is TREATABLE! Hope this is helpful Dr Z BTW the increased capillary growth in alcoholics is due to ESTROGEN excess since the metabolism is blocked with excessive alcohol/liver toxicity)
