    Alcohol is a vasodilator, so your veins get big when you drink, and inflammation occurs.

    Inflammation is itchy.

    If it is a pretty strong localized itch every time you drink a bunch of beer though, it might be good to get that checked out. There’s a thousand other intersecting conditions that alcohol consumption could be interacting with(or not be, so talk to someone with an MD), but that is not a common, acute or severe enough condition to get an undeniable answer, or probably even a close approximation, here.
