Why does our face turn red when we're drunk?!
People who drink all the time will develop a red nose with blue veins in them.
The next time you get close to someone who has been drinking for a number of years, look at his nose. You'll see!
Answers: Alcohol makes your blood pressure increase. That makes the capillaries in your face swell. They also swell in other parts of your body, like your eyes, and the end of your nose. It appears as a "flush."

Ray H is right....it is the blood vessels under the skin swelling from the higher blood pressure. Stay away from alcohol....it is a killer, in more ways than one.
Probably from embarrassment, because you make a total *** of yourself when you're drunk
It makes the blood pressure go up and sometimes it makes up embarrass our self's so we turn red ,,,
alcohol opens up your blood vessels and the alcohol rush to your head causing your face to turn.
mine goes red because i act like a total idiot when i have been drinking
yup hes right . it raises our blood pressure .
Because we are embarrassed by the things we do when we get drunk? ;)
What are you drinking when that happens??
I drink a lot being born in Belgium and living in a beer loving country, but I've never had my face turn red!
I work in a big hotel and a lot of friends, coworkers and family drink very often also, but we never have red faces when drinking!
