Brief Answer:
Probably dehydration due to alcohol consumption.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related dehydration due to alcohol consumption.

Alcohol can cause a dehydrating effect by causing increased urine production.

This effect of alcohol can cause vertigo and make you feel light-headed.

It is as normal as it can be.

Drinking water may help relieve symptoms as a result of dehydration.

The symptoms will pass in a few days, so you should not worry.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further
