Can Alcohol Consumption Causes Fast Heart Beats And Dizziness?

I drank 3 glasses of white wine @ 7pm last night & a full bottle of wine straight after. @ 1.30am I felt dizzy. I haven't been sick but now @ 11.15am I feel sick, shakey, have a fast heart beat and I feel ill. Why is my body reacting this way? By the way I am a 47 yr old woman.
