What Causes Muscle Spasms In Sholders And Mid Back After Consuming Alcohol?

Hi I seem to have muscle spasms in my sholders and mid back area when I consume alcohol... This pain is constant and uncomfortable. I am not a heavy drinker in fact I may have a margarita type drink once or twice a week. But within 2 to 3 sips I start feeling the extreme discomfort. I have been diagnosed with degenerate joint disease ( not sure if this is the reason for the discomfort) so I usually take a 10 mg loratab as soon as the pain start, and the pain immediately stops and I am back to normal. This has been happening for years, can you give me any advise about my issue? Btw no stomach issues...only mid back and sholders...sometimes I get my son to walk on my back, or I ask my husband to press down on it hard so that it will pop..to release the tension and discomfort.
