Sore, aching muscles while drinking alcohol?!

Question: When I drink alcohol, my muscles start to ache, mostly my neck and shoulders really bad. I'm not talking the next day like a hangover symptom but right after I start drinking. Sometimes it goes away after a bit, sometimes it doesn't. This doesn't happen all the time but it does pretty often.

I've asked people and no one else has ever experienced this. Does anyone have any idea what's up?

Alcohol causes your muscles to relax. Many people have tense muscles in the neck and shoulder region. When these muscles are affected by alcohol, it can cause soreness as they stretch out and relax.
