We all know that heavy drinking is bad for our health but many of us underestimate the impact that it has on our looks over time.

A regular, heavy intake of alcohol can cause drastic changes to your face and now Rehabs.com has created a tool to show people exactly how their features will deteriorate over five-year intervals.

Users upload a photo to the programme, which then “applies a transparent mask to add skin defects characteristic of long term alcoholism such as broken capillaries, a bloated face, reddened complexion”.

“The purpose of the programme is to create a shock factor for users, preying on the vanity, in hopes that the very ugly future of their actions will incite behavioural change,” a spokesperson for Rehabs told Mail Online.

You can access the ‘Your Face As An Alcoholic’ tool here.
