I always had it when drinking.. It went away after about a month of sobriety... My nose is still pinkish but I'm in the sun a lot.

Hope that helps.

My face was always red when I was drinking. Blood pressure was high as well. Both improved after recovery. I'm thinking they were related.

Mine was very red, and puffy, I used to say I had allergies as it became noticeable to many. It turns out I did have an allergy to alcohol! Good news is it went after a few weeks kept getting better and now four months I have my lovely porceline skin back amoung other noticeable things, I now am not scared to go and have coffee with people as my hands don't shake anymore.
