What Causes Unconsciousness After Taking Alcohol?

Last night my husband stood up after 4 beers, he had eaten, and sunk to the ground. He was cold and clammy and briefly passed out. He told me this am he felt fizzy in the stomach which is not unusual but I was worried as he is 64 on blood pressure medication and has also been under some pressure lately as I had surgery last week.
