I have recently started drinking alcohol (3 times) and its on 31st I tried a spirit (whisky) for the first time. I didn't drink much just about a 1 beer and 100 ml of whisky in a period of 3-4 hours. I experienced a reduced sensation or "numbness" on my face for some time. This was somewhat reduced when I woke up the next day and then it went away. Is this a normal side effect? Or should I see a doctor?

It's ok to experience this. These some of the effects of drinking alcohol. Check yourself for the same. The mentioned symptoms go away with the effect of alcohol. But if these worry you then you can choose to stop taking alcohol.
