  Yes, drinking too much alcohol will cause eye bags. Enjoying a few beers or cocktails once for a while might be just what you need to unwind. However, too much alcohol consumption can amplify under eye bags because it zaps moisture from your skin. Dry skin is weaker and more likely to sink, creating under eye bags. You do not have to cut alcohol out of your diet altogether, but cut back to one drink, followed by some water, to minimize the effects of alcohol on the delicate eye area.
