  Alcohol can cause puffy eyes because it lowers anti-diuretic hormones (ADH) in the body, but the levels will normalize and the puffiness will usually subside at about the same time your hangover subsides. so you need to wear a mask that is filled with cold water or gel for a few minutes when you wake up in the morning to get off it.

  Yes, drinking alcohol will cause puffy eyes. Because after drinking the blood was diluted by liquid, and blood circulation accelerated and interstitial osmolarity was increased, and caused the local edema. You can deposit your puffy eyes with ice bags. And there is another way that you can put the stainless steel spoon into the cold storage box of refrigerator for a while, and then take out for depositing your eyes. If there is no any effect, you should go to hospital to check that the function of your heart and kidney is normal.
