What Causes Bruising On Chest, Back And Neck After Drinking Alcohol?

After I drink, for one to two days, the skin on my chest, back, neck, and arms feel as if they are severely bruised. They are sensitive to the touch, and hurt if I move in a way that causes the skin to become wrinkled or move. What is this, and is it serious?
