Yeah sore or itchy patches can be found on the body after drinking alcohol, why they appear in the places they do i dont know, but apply some cream with a very weak pain killer in to stop irritation and stay off the drink. Alcohol dehydrates your skin and this is why this is happening so also apply a moisturiser
