It's called vaso-dilation, the opening of blood vessels in the skin... Alcohol affects the hypothalamus in the brain, which is what regulates body temperature - your skin turning red and feeling hot is due to your body being fooled into thinking it's too hot by the alcohol, so it begins trying to cool down.
Sweating lots is another symptom.

See your GP, it's a hormone thing where the hypothalamus is concerned. Prob a herbal rememdy, have a look around - this would also allow you to keep drinking...
