Becuase it buggers around with the bit of your brain that controls balance. Vertigo buggers around with your sense of balance. Put them both together and hey presto - your balance is buggered!

Oops. I think the alcohol affects the brain's ability to receive and send messages swiftly - that's why you can't drink and drive, etc. If you have underlying condition like labyrinthitis, the brain has to cope with that and the effects of alcohol. That's my theory

yes. It is the Pixies in the wine who interact with the faries in your inner ear

That is the scientific explanation
