Recently I've been watching The Big Bang Theory with scripts. In one of the videos, they said:
"I’ve got a girl who punishes her father by sleeping around and an alcoholic who’s two tequila shots away from letting you wear her like a hat."
I could understand the meaning, but couldn't understand the structure of this sentence. Is there anybody who can help me with figuring it out??

Since you say you understand the meaning, can you tell us whether the speaker (who I assume is "her father") is talking about one person or two? That's to say, is the slutty daughter also an alcoholic, or is that someone else? If it's the former (which seems likely to me, but I don't know the full context), I'd say the syntax / structure is defective.

It's a lot easier to understand after a few shots of tequila.

It helps to see more context:
Penny: [on phone] How about this: you keep him there a little longer, and when you get to the party, I'll point out which of my friends are easy.
Howard: [long pause] Don't toy with me, woman.
Penny: I've got a hot former fat girl with no self-esteem, I got a girl who punishes her father by sleeping around, and an alcoholic who's two tequila shots away from letting you wear her like a hat.
(source)
Penny says she has friends who are "easy", meaning they are sexually active and not discriminating about who they sleep with.
Howard questions whether this is true.
Then Penny gives descriptions of three of her friends to prove her point.
"Sleeping around" means having many sexual partners.
"Two tequila shots away from letting you wear her like a hat" isn't an established idiom, just something the script-writers thought was a clever way to describe someone who's very drunk (I'm not sure I agree with them).
I could understand the meaning, but couldn't understand the structure of this sentence.
"I got" is a shortened form of "I have" or "I have got". The structure is the same as "I have a dog and a cat" except the two things she has are described with long phrases rather than simple nouns.

I agree with The Photon's answer for the most part, but could provide an additional perspective.
Two tequila shots away from letting you wear her like a hat
to me implies that after two shots of Tequila, she would let Howard "wear" her on his other head (penis), like a condom. This seems to fit with Howard's goal of getting laid.
