People's experiences are all there is, but this does show a link. It is true that alcohol causes spots. I also beleive that caffiene causes occasional cystic spots which are linked to hormones. I am OK with tea, but coffee causes me problems as it raises blood sugar - wheras some tea can lower it. Caffeine causes adrenal exhaustion fatigue and depression anyway, so it is best avoided in any form. Amphetamines used to give me spots, though MDMA I didn't get a reaction from. I stay away from all these things now, and whilst sugars, carbs and big meals are the cause of acne, drugs do play a part for some people. Alchohol especially since it is s simple sugar. Best thing is small low carb meals. Use the benzoyl peroxide justto dry them up, but there isn't any point in plastering your face with it because it doesn't prevent them and it makes your skin look bad. Just big blobs of it on the affected areas, and let it dry. Yeah there isn’t a lot of research on drugs. People’s experiences are all there is, but this does show a link.

I recently stopped drinking and smoking pot, and lo and behold, the acne is going away. I've been on antibiotics, septra, accutane, etc etc. I've been doing asprin masks, ACV masks, the regimen, nothing could stop the cysts, which seemed to come no matter what. Now that i've gone straight edge and it's going away. You can tell if it affects you by checking your face after getting ill. If its red, it affects you. If the pores are larger, it affects you. Moral: Pot and booze gave me acne. I don't drink, don't smoke, what do I do? I’ve had cystic acne for 10 years. I recently stopped drinking and smoking pot, and lo and behold, the acne is going away.
