Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted Account" data-source="post: 1843813">When I drink it, the short term impact of gin (with no carb mixer) is nothing. However, as [USER=479658]@Knikki[/USER] mentions alcohol can lower BG over the next 12 to 24 hours. This is because our livers don't like alcohol and they cannot multi-task. Therefore, as they deal with the alcohol, they are not dripping glucose into our blood streams. I have not tried pink gin but as it is normally flavoured with agostora bitters, I would not expect to see any difference. The only fruit gin I tried is a small taste of rhubarb gin. I can confirm it tasted very nice but I did not have enough to know the impact on my BG. If you feel the urge for some "research tasting", please report back ... and consider it your duty to the community.</blockquote>
