4 months after LASIK- can't see at night, vision still blurry. Is this normal? Would a glass of wine at night cause this issue?

I had LASIK done in March. My vision was -6.50 and -5.50. My doctor insists I have 20/20 vision, but is it really this blurry for everyone that sees "normally"? I struggle to read farther than 10ft, have fluctuating vision, and still can't drive at night at all due to halos and bad depth perception. My eyes are blurry individually but decent together. I use eye drops still and had punctal plugs a week after surgery. Would a glass of wine a night cause these issues or is this normal?
