Brief Answer:
Take Electoral or oral rehydration solution with fluids.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service,
I've gone through your details,

Alcohol as such is a severe dehydrating agent and after booze, you need to rehydrate your body again and replete the electrolytes lost in the urine.

Suggestion:
Take 3-4 packets of oral rehydration solution or Electoral available over the counter. Mix each packet with the amount of water indicated. Add ice cubes to it and drink at least 4 packets today. If despite this there's no improvement then you need to consider IV drips
