Does metformin mean no more drinking?

I am on Metformin and drink real ale without side effects. I try to stick to lower strength beers to reduce the carbs but I am happy to consider the whole carb intake so by reducing processed foods such as bread I am happy to drink real ale in moderation.
 
I'm on 1000g x 2 a day... The beer that knocks me sideways is Stella Artois, it REALLY upsets my stomach, sometimes with just one pint of it or a can..

Real ale is fine, as is wine, but if I have a night out or a party and drink over 5 pints, I know the following day is written off due to a gippy stomach..

:sick:
 
hophead - the lesson is keep off of the continental c**p ! stick to a real ale, there are, as I am sure you know, lots of great ales out there. Oh, and join CAMRA !

X-entricity - you are dead right ! perhaps you should take a rennie and 2 paracetemols with your tipple ! If you have enough wine you shouldn't need the toilets friendly drug of choice !

I take met***tin to the meter reading and generally have a bottle of a decent red a day.

SuperHIC !
 
I take Metformin, and I drink low carb beer, single malt whisky, a good bottle of red, but not always in that order.
 
I am a 75yr old indian female I take 1000mg metformin in the morning and the same at nite I still have whiskey which I lovery but I'm fine but I don't take meds wen I'm having whiskey and no side effects I always go for blood tests all normal so I feel don't always listen to google
