Reality check!

Alcohol isn't very good for you. But while most people think of liver disease or headaches as side effects of drinking too much, your looks could suffer, too.

Dr. Mitchell Chasin, director of Reflections center for skin and body in New Jersey, says excessive alcohol consumption has both short and long-term affects for your skin. He spoke with amNewYork.
