Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It's obviously low blood pressure causing the same and added by the effect of beer. Re-hydrate him as soon as possible. Taking ORS would be of great help. Need constant monitoring though.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
