Hello ma'am.
Alcohol has found to interact with many medications and cause various side effects for which alcohol is strictly prohibited in those on regular medication either due to side effects or because it may reduce the efficacy of any drugs taken.
If you feel this presentation is specifically seen after alcohol intake, then the solution is simple. Avoid alcohol.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
