[QUOTE="Angeleyes, post: 240944, member: 40519"] [b]Re: mixing alcohol with metformin and glipicide[/b] No one on here should tell you that alcohol and drugs are fine. They don't know you so the advice should be couched in terms that it is Ok for them but only you will know if it is safe for YOU to do so. Never take advice from non medical people regarding mixing drugs and alcohol. That could be fraught with danger. What they can do and what you might be able to do are two different things. Hence the warning in the quote I gave above. It's good that you discussed it with your HCP who is a person who knows your medical history and what other drugs you may be taking, other conditions you may have. That is always the best way. There are people who seem to think that alcohol can also be used to great effect in helping control THEIR blood sugar levels, that may well be so, but don't take it that that means everybody can! Here is a useful link about metformin and alcohol from a reputable medical based source: [url=http://diabetes.emedtv.com/metformin/metformin-and-alcohol.html][Metformin and Alcohol[/url] Same goes for glipizide. Source: [url=http://www.drugs.com/glipizide.html][Glipizide][/url] This a more specific link: [url=http://www.drugs.com/food-interactions/glipizide.html][Glipizide and Alcohol][/url] [/QUOTE]
