Alcohol causes the body to become dehydrated. When the body is dehydrated, skin and vital organs try to hold onto as much water as possible, leading to puffiness in the face and elsewhere. Make sure to drink plenty of water, and avoid any carbonated beverages. This should begin to dissipate. If you need help with your drinking habits you should discuss it further with your primary doctor.
