Can Head Trauma Be A Result Of Alcohol Intoxication?

I was taken to the ER by ambulance. The medical records say that i was unconscious and brought in. The doctor wrote alcohol intoxication on the paperwork but I was told I was there for a head trauma. I only had 2 glasses of wine and was not drunk. They didn't do any blood tests. Why? Nothing adds up. I can't even see a blood alcohol level. How do I figure this out?
