Hi, welcome and thanks for writing in.
Zoloft is anxiolytic with sedative effect. It has additives effect with alcohol. That's why you are feeling over drunk feeling. Avoid drinking as much as possible when you are on medication because alcohol has cross reaction with many drugs.
Numbness is tingling is possibly bad posture of sleeping. If you are feeling nauseated or vomiting then please consult your physician. You may need intravenous fluids to maintain hydration and decrease side effects of alcohol. Otherwise you can take rest and have plenty of water at home.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have further concern, please let me know.
Regards.
