Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The fact that you had some drinks makes this confusing. Defining a TIA or not is best done with an immediate MRI of the brain with diffusion/perfusion tensor imaging performed as soon after the event as possible but in any case not more than 24 hrs. So based upon BEST information available from your description of things I'd say that the likelihood of your having had a TIA is very very small.

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