Affects of Alcohol on Skin

I was just interested in knowing the reason for the way alcohol affects
my skin. Every time I drink a lot in one night and get pretty drunk
(not necessarily to the point of hangover or vomitting) the next day my
skin actually looks much better: better texture and a little better
coloration.. or glow. But then the day after that, my skin ends up
looking much worse than it did before I drank. Much worse texture
(looser) and less color.. I suppose it is a little more pale. This
lasts a day or two depending on how much I drank.

I was just curious as to why this happens, and if there is any way to
counter these effects (maybe vitamins)? Any information would be
greatly appreciated.
