I quit drinking two weeks ago and have noticed my eyes are much more puffy and my wrinkles more prominent. I am 43 and am aging well, but not very happy with the mirror lately.

My understanding is that this can happen because alcohol dehydrates and you are no longer dehydrated causing the skin to "plump" a bit. Hang in there, ultimately your face will look much better, and you will slow down the aging by not drinking. I have read that it can take up to a month for the puffiness and swelling to completely subside.

Alcohol causes the body to bloat, and look swelled. Excess fluid becomes trapped in the body tissues, making it look puffy
