Was my rash related to drinking alcohol?

Last night I drank a large amount of wine. Some hours had passed and eventually I noticed that I had developed a rash on my face, neck chest, and wrists. After I saw the rash I used some cortisone lotion, and I quit drinking, and when I woke up the next morning the rash had gone away. I hadn't eaten anything unusual or had any medications in my system.

Is there any chance that this could have been alcohol poisoning?

Could be toxic hepatitis. A rash that goes away once the toxin is discontinued, is one of the symptoms. I think it's worth going to the doctor and getting it checked out.
