Default mild concussion maybe, some questions

My story is ridiculous and very upsetting to me. I went to a party I did not want to go to, but I ended up guzzling a bottle of water (to avoid hangover) which turned out to be filled with vodka for reasons that are partly my fault.

I lost conscience shortly after and I spent two hours in a parking lot not remembering anything except someone asking me why my forhead is injured.
It is important to mention that I DO NOT REMEMBER anything, including how I got home, which worries me if I might have hit my head more than once. None of my friends (completely inebriated) know either.

I did NOT think about a concussion, until 2-3 days later (I started running the day after which I do after night outs) when the dizziniess persisted, I felt nausea and low grade headache.

This was about 10 days ago. Things are getting better. Some days and hours are better than others. I feel the more I rest the more I feel the dizzinness (a sign that my brain is recovering?)

I am being extremely careful. My work involves sitting in a conference and mostly listening to people. I skipped 3 days once I realized I have a concussion but now I am back to work. I stopped running, and staying quite a bit of time relaxing on bed. Sleeping well.

My GP says that based on my symptoms it sounds like a mild concussion (no head splitting headaches).

I am due to travel to Europe for vacation in a bit more than w weeks...

I would be very interested in your thoughts on this

So far I have not recovered yet, not able to concentrate and think straight very well and of course my primary objective is to go back to normal as soon as possible.

Many thanks folks
