What Causes Numbness In Body And Sore Throat After Drinking Alcohol?

Hi, 2 days ago I went to a party and consumed quite alot of alcohol. I wasn t too bad the next day but for reason all last night and today my body feels numb. If I pinch myself for example I can t feel it. I am just aware it s happening. I also have a sore throat now and its whenever I swallow I feel like something is there. I would be grateful as to find out what this could be because it is quite worrying. I m 21 5 7 and female and have only experienced this once before but only lasted a few hours. The numbness on my neck feels slightly like a burning sensation when the cold hits it.
