Hello
Thanks for the query
It looks like he has a post prandial hypotension. It is common and it is because of fall in blood pressure due to re routing of blood to increase your blood supply to the stomach. It is also because the heart beats faster after meals. I advice him to eat smaller meals several times a day to prevent this.
The low tolerance to alcohol is a separate issue which might have to be dealt with in detail by a gastroenterologist
I hope I was of help
Regards
