Brief Answer:
Can be an electrolyte imbalance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The soreness at the back of legs is likely to be due to muscle spasm. This can happen due to an electrolyte imbalance, decreased fluid intake or low levels of vitamin D3. Do get the levels checked and start with proper supplements.
I hope this answers your query.

Can be due to excessive alcohol intake.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.

It can happen due to excessive alcohol intake as it causes electrolyte disturbance. You need a few blood tests to find out the cause. Physiotherapy can help if it is due to muscle spasms.
Hope my answer is helpful.
