Alcohol makes me look pale? -

Whenever I'm out on a night out and I've had quite a bit to drink, I look really pale. I don't know wether it's the alcohol playing tricks on my mind or wether I really am pale. I was just wondering if anyone knows why it happens, if there is a way to stop it and will I look pale to everyone else or just myself.

It could be the lighting, alcohol is a vasodilator which means your skin should get more red than pale. I suppose it could also be the cold room since you do lose more heat.

Going flush I've heard of but going pale? Assuming there's not some effect of the environment (i.e. lighting), I'd assume dehydration causing you to look paler.
