HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is good that you have reduced the days that you drink. Though you only drink on Friday and Saturday, the amount that you use on those days would be important;
Drop in blood pressure on standing is called postural hypotension and there are different possible causes.
Postural hypotension would cause dizziness on standing.
I hope this helps
