Eventually...: One of the many detrimental physical manifestations of long-term heavy alcohol use is dilation of the capillaries in the skin. This is what causes that "red-faced" look and "caput medusae" on the chest. Rosacea will cause redness and thickening of the skin of the cheeks and the nose. Heavy alcohol consumption will aggravate this condition, leading to "rhinophyma", a large red nose.
