What are the the worst alcoholic drinks for your skin? When it comes to alcohol consumption and all of the health points that go along with it, it would be fair to say that while liver issues and hangovers are top of the list, something that doesn’t get much exposure is what certain kinds of drinks can do to your skin. In general, drinking alcohol isn’t the best thing in the world for people who are aiming to have perfectly spotless skin, but there is definitely a spectrum from worst to best, and that is determined by both the contents of the drinks and the mixtures of different quantities in cocktails. Here is a list of some of the worst alcoholic drinks for your skin.

Tequila
This is definitely one of the worst alcoholic drinks for your skin. Tequila might have less sugar than other drinks and therefore less likely to cause a hangover or acne breakouts, but don’t be fooled into thinking that it’s a skin-friendly drink! It is a particularly concentrated, pure spirit, which means that drinking excessive amounts of the stuff will almost certainly have a negative impact on both your head and your skin! That being said, tequila is one of your safest bets if you drink it in moderation.

Beer
Beer is a drink that you tend to drink more slowly than others, which means that you might not be as dehydrated by it, but there are still some points of concern. Beer contains some salt, which will counteract the hydration in your body, working to dry out your skin if you enjoy a long drinking session.

Gin & Tonic
A gin and tonic is definitely one of the kinder cocktail combinations for your skin, but it is still alcohol and strong alcohol at that, and there is always the risk of dehydration that could cause your skin to be lifeless and flaky after too many drinks at the bar.

White Wine
White wine causes some of the worst hangover headaches out there, and it’s not kind to your skin either. It is high in sugar, which means that it has inflammatory properties that pose a risk of breakouts for your skin. Cell damage is also something that occurs over time if white wine is your go-to tipple.

Mojito
Mojitos are absolutely loaded with sugar and flavoured syrups, and this high sweet content is going to really stoke up the inflammatory nature of your skin. If you are prone to skin breakouts, then a mojito is not going to be the kindest drink for you.

If you have a harem of 40 women, you never get to know any of them very well.
Margarita
Margaritas are delicious but they possess a really risky combination of salt and sugar; not great for the skin at all! Not to mention, drinking one too many of these can cause the dehydration hangover from hell!

Red Wine
Red wine is famous for encouraging your blood vessels to open up, which can increase the look of redness on your skin. This is something to avoid if you are prone to something like rosacea.
