I used to have really bad acne about a year ago, I was put on Roaccutane and came off them six months ago and haven't had any new spots since. But whenever I drink alcohol I always get one or two new spots, I thought it would be down to dehydration but I never get spots when I take any pills, such as E which also cause dehydration, only drink.

I haven't suffered from acne in years but my complexion is always fucked up after drinking, even if I drink just 2 glasses of wine.
It bugs me and I suspect it's just toxins coming out of my pores, but I've done a few experiments: rinsing my face with lukewarm water, then using a gentle cleanser, and I've even tried a gentle clay mask. I eat my normal diet when I drink: grains, veggies, lean protein, yogurt. No greasy food. Usually I drink extra water.
But nothing seems to prevent post-drinking blemishes for me. I don't rely get pimples so much as red areas and some swelling (fluid retention?). I don't know, I'm looking forward to some input...
