Having the odd social drink won’t do you any harm and even the odd glass of wine can be good for you. But an all to common trend amongst younger people is the drinking of excessive amounts this is a trend known as ‘binge drinking’ which will do little for maintaining youthfulness long term.
The young may be misguided in their excess drinking as too much alcohol now will lead to problems with various aspects of their health in the future and they also will age faster than those who drink in moderation.
Alcohol dehydrates you and by drinking a lot of alcohol the effect of the dehydration is magnified which causes the skin to become less well hydrated and there by becomes dry and lifeless.
Applying moisturizers will not compensate for the lack of hydration from within.
Often excessive drinking is also associated with partying and other factors such as smoking (and even secondhand smoke from others at the parties) this will play havoc with the skin and cause it to age even faster.
Lifestyle choices affect your appearance and a unhealthy life style is reflected in an unhealthy complexion, and that is not the way to stay looking young.
It is now days not uncommon to see young guys and girls with excess fat around their waistlines and much of that can be attributed to them consuming excessive amounts of alcohol.
The attitude with the younger generation is party to today and forget tomorrow but the body is not designed for this abuse long term. It can surely only be a matter of time if this lifestyle is continued that our next generation of young men and women will appear to age very much faster than that of previous generations.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying life as this helps keep you feeling young. But this must be balanced with the detrimental health effects of living life to excess can have to your future wellbeing.
As they say everything is fine in moderation but take it easy.
