Suggest Treatment For Dizziness After Excess Alcohol Intake

I just drank 3 tall boys of 8% alcohol beer (about 1.5 Liters), smoked 2 cigarillos, and started feeling dizzy. I drank a pint of water and threw up. Then my throat started hurting a lot so I took a dose (2 pills) of dayquil. I read that the to shouldn t be mixed. So I put 2 fingers in my mouth and made myself puke after the dayquil, I feel better now. Will I be alright? Feeling really stupid.
