[QUOTE="FurryCub, post: 465946, member: 51046"] I'm on 2x500mg slow release metformin and I play rugby. So although I don't drink at all at home, when we've got a game on quite a lot of different types of alcohol may be consumed, Ales, spirits, lagers, shots, and usually in large quantities. (My team are a bad influence). I've noticed that despite some of the alcohol containing carbs and sometimes a few bg swings, the overall net effect appears to be nil. However that may just be me, metformin is good for overall bg so keep taking that and maybe monitor bg while drinking. Obviously also look out for lactic acidosis signs too.
