Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX, thanks for using XXXXXXX
I can understand your concern.
1. Alcohol does not trigger hypothyroid attack. You are required to take the medications for hypothyroidism as routine basis.
2. Consumption of Alcohol can cause lymph node swollen in few patients. The lymph node you had may be due to alcohol or to any infection or other cause like lymphoma also. So I advice you to consult your doctor once for examination and investigations if required.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups.

Wish you good health. Take care.
