I have found stress, absolutely, to be the biggest 'it will hit you in the end', thing when it comes to raised BG levels. Not fermented fruit. The stress thing is such a biggie I joke with friends and loved ones if they get suitably ****** off with me how they can kill me is to stress me out. (It's all about the cortisol and the flight and fright mechanism pumping out sugar into the blood to ready you for running from tigers and your mother in law.) And drinking socially really helps with lowering my stress and generally enjoying my life (as alcohol does generally for we humans).But there is a really simple way to check out the effect of alcohol on your BG levels - drink and meter! Check your levels over time. Check them on a few drinking occasions, and the days following - and then you will know how it affects you personally. Drinking moderately for your body type and food intake (ie drinking with food), can have a positive effect on your feelings of wellbeing, with a minimum effect on your liver. But 'drink and meter' to check it out!</blockquote>
