Why do I look worse about a week after drinking alcohol?

[Anonymous]

I'm only 19 and if i drink on the weekends i tend to look like shit no the day after, not even a few days after, but a week after.. Why is this? Could it be my body detoxing?

Your body won't look the greatest because it was a bit 'poisoned' over the weekend, for lack of a better word. Alcohol dehydrates your body, messed with the quality and amount of sleep you get, as well as pulls a number on many of your organs, primarily the detox digestive ones, by putting them in overdrive.

I don't know if that could extend for as long as a week after, but yeah, maybe 1-2 days post drinking-binge.

Thanks for the answer but i don't know how it's going on for longer than a week.

maybe it's not related to the hangover or alcohol you drank. It should be completely out of your system after 2-3 days maximum. If your body is still detoxing a week or more later... that'd be due to a whole separate issue, most likely.

Yes, and the alcohol seeps through your pores, can make you look greasy and or exhausted.
