I Am A Drinker. Having Itchy Skin. What Is Causing This?

For the past two days my skin has been incredibly itchy. The severity of the itching seems to increase and decrease, but never completely goes. I did have quite a heavy drink over the weekend, and wonder if this is my bodys way of letting me know to lay off the booze for a while, or whether there is something else all together causing it. Mainly I would like it to stop as soon as possible so I can get some sleep .
