Blood pressure goes up when drinking alcohol and, when the liquor's in your body, it breaks down into a compound, acetaldehyde. When your body cannot metabolize the compound, the blood capillaries in your face (and neck and shoulders) dilate and turn your face red. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and healthy lifestyle.
