General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history about redness at the tip of your nose which is increases on taking any alcoholic beverage and is present for 3-4 years.
The most common causes is:
Collumellitis, an infection of the front portion of nose from within. This also infects the cartilages hence not allowing the cure.
Nose pricking habit does not give it a time to heal.
The alcohol in any form increases inflammation, adding to the problems.

I would advise in such a situation the following:
Stop nose pricking or repeated touching habit.
Long term antibiotic like Doxycyclin
Rule out diabetes.
I hope this answer helps you.
