Can alcohol make you swell up?

I was at a party last night. Now i've been drinking socially for a year now so i'm not completely new to it. I had three drinks. The first was from a bottle...i think it was Bacardi? The next was some sort of sour apple liquor and juice. The third was liquor and sprite.
Extra details that might matter?
-I'm a guy
-It was a dance party.
-It was VERY hot and crowded
-We had been waiting in the cold (30deg) for 30min before getting inside
-There was a fog machine

After about 2 hours I noticed my fingers felt stiff. I looked down and my fingers had swollen. My watch and wristband were all of a sudden tight now too. I went to bathroom and noticed minor swelling in my face. I'm assuming my whole body was swollen. I didn't feel any different except for the fact that since my fingers were swollen my sense of touch was dull and my fingers were hard to move.
After the party (~2hrs later), the swelling was completely gone.
What happened to me?Can alcohol make you swell up?
It can cause swelling. Too much of anything is not good.
it'll make you throw up and smell like sh it
