Concussion: Maybe you need to pick another sport, it seems you are not too good at snowboarding specially if you drink when you snowboard.

Unlikely major issue: Unless you still feel dizzy or off balance, and then would avoid alcohol until that clears. Make sure that any initial meds are not present as the effect of alcohol could be magnified. Otherwise, ok for a couple beers, not ok to get soused or drunk. And hey, wear a helmet, if you do not already.
