I drink regularly but rarely to this degree of excess. So niw its 8:30 in the morning and I feel terrible. No headache but an overall malaise thats hard to describe.

Brief Answer:
You can take Xanax if you tolerate it well.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you can start to have some water and fluids in order to keep hydrated.
Taking alcohol can lead to dehydration and contribute to overall malaise.
Xanax is not recommended to be taken if drinking alcohol because it may give you sleepiness, drowsiness and dizziness.
If you are at home having rest and you tolerate it well you can take Xanax.
