What Causes Dark Urination After Drinking Alcohol While On Metronidazole?

I am currently taking metronidazole.I had a few glasses of wine last night. Earlier this evening I urinated and the urine was a dark orange-reddish color. I had forgotten that I was not supposed to have alcohol when taking the medication. Is the combination of the medication and Alcohol causing this since it took 24 hours for the discolored urine to show up.
