even though grammar is correct, the best usage and the expression of the meaning is also important.

My suggestions:

1. "He yelled at me, so I yelled back to him."

"I was being yelled at, (so) I yelled back to him"

2. "should not have drunk the beer, now I am feeling dizzy."

"am feeling" is stronger expressed than just "I feel" and is in continuous form.

common usage is "have drunk the beer" but should not be "have the beer drunk"

"should not have drunk the beer, I am feeling dizzy."

can omit the "now" to be concise and save number of words

"shouldn't" can replace "should not" if it is in quotation mode.
