  Yes, it can happen when you take overload alcohol once a time. Yellow eyes means the white of the eye becomes yellow color. It's the first sign of jaundice that caused by a buildup of bilirubin in the blood. The red blood cells produce bilirubin that is yellow-colored pigment, and it's normally processed by the liver. However, one of the most common problems for liver to function incorrectly is alcoholism. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver as other materials, but it causes toxin in the blood when it's excess. Thus the liver couldn't work as usual. And the bilirubin couldn't be processed by the liver, too. It would be accumulated in the eyes to become yellow eyes.
