Hi,

The most likely reason for your symptoms is that heavy drinking in the holiday season has triggered an arrythmia which makes your heart beat faster. It is called holiday heart syndrome. You can stop the tachycardia by taking deep breaths very slowly, but it will be better to consult a doctor and get at least an electrocardiogram done. Till then please avoid alcohol.

Hope this helps you. Best wishes.
