Is my liver damaged at all from mixing hydrocodone and alcohol one time?

Hello, I am very concerned about my liver after a night of doing something reckless. I am a healthy 21 year old, 6'1, 200 pound male with no lasting medical problems of any sort. Im very healthy across the board, i dont do drugs, and im not a regular drinker. Going to go into greater detail about my problem. About five days a go I drank about 10 shots of 100 proof vodka throughout the day/night total and then 15 mins or so (probably a little longer than that though maybe a half hour even) later after my last shot late at night close to midnight I would say, I took 1 pill of hydrocodone 5MG/500MG (I have it prescribed for a broken nose) and then about an hour later after I took that pill I took two tylenol PM's to try and sleep. It is probably important to note that I only took the 1 hydrocodone all day, NOT more than one (and it was that low dose 5MG/500MG pill) and again that was about 15 mins or so after drinking my last shot of the day. I had NO hydrocodone or any pills at all the next day following this event. It may be important to note I did also eat a huge portion of nachos with nacho cheese after taking the two tylenol and drank a big thing of tea, so that may have sucked up some alcohol? Also right after I finished eating the nachos I went straight to sleep. I am not a regular drinker, I was just drinking that day/night for a random thrill out of boredom. And I have never ever mixed alcohol and drugs like this before, this was the first and last time. The next day myfriend told me I could have seriously damaged my liver. I have been concerned ever since that night about my liver. But like I said I have only done this one time and it was accidental because I was not thinking because I was intoxicated, and so far I think I am fine. I have not experienced any of the symptoms of liver damage over the past view days, I have been keeping close tabs on myself and doing appropriate research and so far I think I am fine, no concerns. I talked to a friend that is a 911 dispatcher, she has no real medical experience like a doc nurse though, but she said she thinks I am fine. But should I go see my doctor and get medical advise just in case? Am I in any immediate or long lasting danger? Thank you!
