What Causes Itching While On Septa?

I was prescribed septa 400-80 mg to be taken daily for long term for recurring UTI s . I have been taking Septra for 4 days and have been experiencing itchiness for the past 2-3 days. Is this a side effect from taking this drug or is the itchiness unrelated? Also, am a I able to consume alcoholic beverages while taking this drug?
