What Causes Hand Tremors After Alcohol Consumption?

I have been drinking since I was 12 years old.Why does my left hand twitch after I drink alcohol or smoke marijuana? Is this a sign of liver disease? I only drink one beer and my left hand just starts like clock work. Is there anything I can do to fix it? How dangerous can this be for me? Does it make it more dangerous because it is on the left side?
