It's not where I thought, the police and towing companies have no record/log of any towing or incident. I have my keys but it's nowhere to be found. It's an older vehicle and fob doesn't work. How f*cked am I?

Drunken recall... Get drunk again and you will find your car. But have someone else drive.
Your phone records the location at which it last disconnected from your car’s Bluetooth. Should be marked on your map app.

I was thinking the same. If the OP hasn't watched that movie, maybe it can help.
Enter rehab. Eventually the car will turn up. It's more important you address the root cause of your problem.

That always worked for us back in the 1970s.
Go somewhere drunk.
Can't find it again.
Get drunk and find it no problem.
Go to the last place you remember, then start driving around. It will jar your memory.
This happened to me more than once as a young man. Definitely not funny like the movie, more like humiliating, shameful, etc. Got extremely lucky and happened to locate it with the help of friends aka drinking buddies. Anybody that does stuff like this no doubt needs some help.

the best drunk/lost car story i ever heard was someone who parked their car one night, went out and got drunk, came back the next day and the car wasn't in the parking lot he parked in. he looked all over and eventually concluded it was stolen and reported it. was in the process of getting insurance to pay for a new car and everything and then one day he looked at the back of the parking lot where was a swamp with overgrown reeds and saw his car the reeds. apparently he'd left it in gear and it had rolled backwards off the parking lot into the reeds and was just hiding there for a few weeks. it was just fine and he got in and drove home.

He said it's an older vehicle so there may not be Bluetooth on the car.
If you were so drunk that you couldn't remember where it was parked, you should feel fortunate that you didn't find it and if you did, you certainly should not have driven it.
Lesson learned?
Or not?

You’re very lucky you weren’t in an accident driving drunk. How much of a putz are you to drive drunk in this day and age?
You know where you were drinking right? Must have been walking distance from the bar/s, ya? Early in the morning, uber to the area and start scouring the nearby streets and parking lots for your car. Hopefully you remember at least whether you parked in a lot, on the street, in a garage, etc. Check everywhere within a few blocks/maybe 1000 meters in each direction. You'll want to try the 4 cardinal directions first and if this doesn't find your car, check everywhere in a circle. You'll be checking an area of 1.2 mi^2 roughly.
If this doesn't work, expand the search range to a mile. If this doesn't work, give up for the day, rent a car and slowly drive through the area early the next morning, literally looking everywhere.
I've absent mindedly parked in a random lot downtown before and had to use the first method (walking all over an area a little larger than a square mile). You can save your parking location in google maps and I suggest doing that from now on when you go out drinking, just don't drive afterwards.
Any chance someone gave you a ride home or you copped an Uber?
Consider it a blessing. Drinking while driving can land you into huge trouble.
Never, ever get a DUI. Ever.
