Tramadol and alcohol

I've been prescribed tramadol for arthritis pain. I took two yesterday, 50mg each, one at 7am and one at 4pm. They were horrible and honestly I'm not sure I'll take them again.

My question is, will I be able to have a couple of beers tonight? The leaflet says not to mix alcohol with them, the NHS website says it's ok and to see how it effects you, but in any case it'll be well over 24 hours since my last (single) dose. I do feel a bit thick headed this morning but that could be because I slept badly. And I've had a crap week so could really do with a craft beer or two!

I've taken tramadol for years now, that foggy sensation doesn't last. If it's too much could you just take one a night for a week then increase to twice a day? Don't give up it was worth the perseverence for me.
Regarding alcohol (I'm not a big drinker anyway) I didn't at first now I'm fine to drink a couple.
