Good day! It is possible that you are suffering what is called "Peripheral Neuropathy". It is where the alcohol and its affiliated nutritional deficiencies and dehydration involved will deplete much of the energy and nutrients needed to supply the nerves which provide adequate and accurate sensation to the limbs. I highly recommend of course that you discontinue alcohol and tobacco as they are of course very detrimental to your health. However in the immediate future, I would recommend supplementation to ensure your body is receiving the proper nutrients for proper nerve energy (These are: Multivitamins, B-12 + Folate). You can find these over the counter. I hope you receive some alleviation of your symptoms!
