I had a very similar experience, except mine happened with wine, not beer. Guess that doesn't really matter. Liquor is liquor and I really don't think beer and wine are inherently any more "healthful" than "hard" liquor. I know, I know, wine is supposed to have some sort of heart healthy properties, but I believe you can get those same things in grape juice. And I would guess most of us on this board have a difficulity in keeping our drinking at the moderation level. I digress.
What really struck me about your post was how you said the worst part was a few days after, not the next day. I, too, had the very similar experience. As such, I've hadn't a drink since Oct. I've had some bad spells, but not nearly as lengthy as when combined with booze.
Larry's advice is good, as was Old School's a while back, on the subject of booze. Any depressive is strongly advised to cut it out completely.
