Collapsing after a few drinks

Why is it that after no more than two pints of beer before dinner I invariably fall asleep in front of the TV for an hour or more.
This happens every time I have a beer. Sad isnt it especially for an ex-rugby forward. No seriously why is this?
I am on 3 850mg Metformin per day, 1 Gliclazide per day and 1 injection of liraglutide (Victoza)
My morning sugar lavels are between 4.5 and 5.5 so thats good.
I do get very bad stomach pains of latre which appear to be a sufeit of wind, (Flatulance) Feel very bloated. :lol:
I dont consider myself very over weight coming in at 15.5 stone and I an 6 ft tall and built as an ex rugby forward should be built. :roll:
Getting old , Yes almost 72 so I suppose its all wearing out or perhaps worn out?
Any one who wants can email me direct at: [mod edit: email address removed - please use PM]
All email will be answered.

Hi,

I think that alcohol on an empty stomach can give you a hypo, especially if this is just before dinner so your levels could be low - have you tried having a snack before you start on the beer? Do you use a BG monitor? Maybe test before you have a beer and see if your levels are low.

I am not an expert but I do try to have a piece of cheese or a boiled egg or some nuts before I start on my wine (or have it with my dinner)

I hope this improves for you, take care. Jane
