The short answer is 'yes', but only if you are a severe, long-term alcoholics with advanced liver damage (cirrhosis). For the vast majority of drinkers, including most alcoholics, it is a myth that broken facial veins are caused by their alcohol consumption. For example... www.skincarecentre.ca/enhancing_your_skin/excessive_facial_veins_and_redness.htm Broken veins are not really broken. They are permanently dilated small vessels in your skin. 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. When the liver is severely damaged (whether by advanced Alcoholism, hepatitis or toxins), it may produce chemical changes in the blood that lead to spider veins in the facial skin. But by then, red veins on your nose will be the least of your problems.
