You should probably ask your doctor to take a look.  It could be an allergic reaction .... the common denominator in beer and sweets being sugar.  It could be a type of fluid retention.  But you need someone qualified to tell you for sure.  In the meantime, don't drink beer or eat sugary foods?

My face gets puffy too! It's because alcohol dehydrates you so your body wants to hold onto all the water it can. This causes your face to bloat. Try drinking a lot of water whenever you drink and you should be fine.

Omg same! But with sweets. Like after I eat alot of sugary things (cereal, candy, sugar itself etc), my face gets all red and puffy.

:(

me too! this is one of the biggest things that bothers me. If I eat *anything* a couple hours before bed, I wake up to a swollen face that takes a whole day/two to swell down. -_- So let's say I eat like something salty before bed... man, that is just GAME OVER for me the next morning. I guess it's more about just having to deal with it. Everyone has their issues, and mine is this. haha  Don't worry~ you're not alone. At least it's not a permanent thing! :P
