Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to an upper respiratory tract infection. It seems that alcohol intake has exacerbated the situation. Anyway, if the situation persists, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
