Alcohol burn is generally referred to as a reddish burn on the skin of the face. It is said that this “alcohol burn” is a symptom that appears in people who drink a lot of alcohol.

You can think of this burn as a side effect of acetaldehyde, but the skin on your face is originally exposed to the sun, right?

When the skin is exposed to the sun, oxidative stress is created by the ultraviolet rays. This can be found in the previous article explaining the relationship between sunburn and oxidative stress.

In addition, when the skin is exposed to oxidative stress due to the ultraviolet rays of the sun, and alcohol is consumed, the oxidative stress in the body increases due to the acetaldehyde produced in the process of metabolizing alcohol, the damage to the skin exposed to the sun is even greater. It’s a good idea to keep your skin clean.

This is because of sunburn caused by sunlight, and also because of acetaldehyde, which is produced during the metabolism of alcohol.

I think we all know that oxidative stress causes the body to become rusty.

Please keep in mind that the oxidative stress caused by sunburn and the oxidative stress of acetaldehyde can cause double damage, so be careful not to drink too much or too deeply to avoid that.
