I have had this problem for years and the three things that help (but don't totally) negate it are:
1. Drink 50% less caffeine on the day I'm going to be drinking heavily. Caffeine and alcohol both interrupt sleep. Even if you stop drinking coffee before noon, that effect is going to stack and make it harder to stay asleep throughout the night.
2. If you're going to drink heavy, make it hard liquor, not beer. The volume of liquid in your bladder from drinking 10 beers is going to be a lot higher than 10 G&T's. You'll have to pee more, which means more waking up.
3. Start drinking earlier. Stop drinking a few hours before you plan to go to bed. Eat a big meal before you sleep. This can help alleviate the hard wake up halfway through the night, where you can't fall asleep again for hours and hours (or at all). Again, won't always fully negate it, but can really help.
