Sometimes, alcohol does completely finish in person's system and can still affect him/her the following day. The effects may not be adverse, such as those of a hangover, but rather positive, such as feeling a bit drowsy or a little drunk. This type of feeling signals the fact that alcohol that was taken the previous day or night still lingers on in one's system. The adjective 'drowsy' used in the first statement means 'sleepy' in this context. The phrasal verb to 'linger on' means 'to be slow to disappear'. In this case, alcohol is slow to disappear from the system.
So, you may say:
There is still some alcohol in my system because I am a bit drowsy.
or
Alcohol still lingers on in my body because I still feel a little drunk.
