They are sometimes called spider veins, and have the medical name 'telengectasia'. Broken veins have many causes including excessive exposure to the sun or cold, hormonal changes during pregnancy and genetic factors. Alcohol does cause short term facial blushing (generalized redness), especial in some racial groups, due to dilation of capillaries in the facial skin, but this does not lead to permanent broken veins.
