Every Saturday morning, without fail, I wake up an hour earlier than I do during the week. And I don't want to. It's really annoying. I don't understand it. I can't get back to sleep, but I don't want to get up, so I just lie there.

Alcohol consumption reduces REM sleep. Your deep sleep is diminished. You may wake from light sleep more easily; but, you'll feel like you haven't had a good night's rest.
That's why it's not a good idea to give dogs or cats alcoholic beverages to get them to sleep at night. They'll be cranky in the morning.
