Depending on the amount of alcohol consumed (upto a glass of cabernet
sauvignon or 2 cans of low-carb beer) during dinner, I get the
following range of symptoms the next morning when waking up:

1. Dark circles below eyes.
2. Moderately elevated heart rate.
3. Elevated and pounding heart rate.
4. All the above and wake up earlier than ususual
(sometimes as early as 3AM).

What is the mechanism for the above effects? What should I modify to
get benefits of alcohol consumption without harm?

hmm... i get most of those symptoms too, but only after a "bottle"
rather than a "glass" - which is probably explanation enough in my case!

Start drinking earlier?

Perhaps, the "benefits" of alcohol don't apply in your case, and you'd
be better off without it?
