It would be for me.... I tend to have an 80-90 over half of the next day ...but I have seen days where I reluctantly went out for walks after a night of drink and the lows come.... Your liver may also take it's time with the booze... I wouldn't worry though...less insulin is always a good thing...

Can you try putting a temp increase of the basal in the first instance, maybe 10 or 15% [assuming type 1] sick day rules are solely for the control of ketones......obviously having an intake of some cabrs will help stop any contribution from starvation ketones.....but it doesnt need to be a lot...
