The young may be misguided in their excess drinking as too much alcohol now will lead to problems with various aspects of their health in the future and they also will age faster than those who drink in moderation.

Alcohol by its very nature will dehydrate the body which is ironic in a way. The more you drink alcohol the more the skin becomes dry and dehydrated which leaves the skin lacking in the essential moisture it needs to look good. Subsequently the skin dries out and loses it's elasticity and looks lifeless.

Contrary to common belief especially amongst young women a moisturiser will only replace surface hydration and not rehydrate the skin from within.

A majority of excess drinking in people is at parties and that sort of environment. This means the room is likely to be smoked filled and this combined with the excess alcohol can very quickly lead to skin aging.

By making the right or wrong lifestyle choices today you define how you will look in the future. Those who abuse their body will be unhealthy looking and age quicker in the future.

It is now days not uncommon to see young guys and girls with excess fat around their waistlines and much of that can be attributed to them consuming excessive amounts of alcohol.

While they might 'get away with it' while they are still young it will certainly take it's toll as they age and should they continue to live in such a manner they will see the effects their foolhardy behaviour has had on them both on their appearance and their general health.

It is good to have fun in life and that will actually help to keep you feeling younger but there must be limits. Remember sometimes things that seems a good idea at the time can have a huge effect on you later down the track.

The saying goes "pretty much anything is ok if done in moderation".
