I don't understand: why this would happen, since most people experience the opposite - more histamine release when drinking associated with flushing or itching. However, it is far more important for you to get sober than to worry about itching. I would recommend using an antihistamine for your itching, like benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25 mg four times a day (caution with driving etc. because of potential sedation). Ask your doctor.
