alcohol causes blood vessels to dilate. This causes the warm feeling, blushing, the red eyes. personally I believe the research shows that vasodilation is healthy for the circulation and this is likely to be why mild alcohol intake has been shown to be preventative of heart disease, but that's just me.
Everyone agrees there is vasodilation and this will cause vessels to .. well.. dilate.
