10 Signs of Alcoholism

Alcoholism Sign #8: Red Face
It is not uncommon for us to go red in the face when we have drunk too much. This is often down to an increase in blood pressure, although that is not the only reason. It is usually only temporary and our appearance is usually back to normal the following day. If the symptoms become permanent, though, then you have a problem.
Excess alcohol can cause the capillaries to become broken, causing a permanent red flush. This is commonly encountered in the nose and cheeks and is a tell-tale sign that somebody has a drinking problem. The damage being done is permanent, and it can be severe, so professional help should be sought as soon as possible.
