[QUOTE="Trinkwasser, post: 55757, member: 11875"] Lactic acidosis is very rare but they warn against it anyway. Most people I know on Metformin have no problem with occasional drinking, but likely if you drank a lot there would be interractions as both met and alcohol will tend to reduce liver production of glucose. Many people find metformin is a long term medication and it doesn't make much difference to BG numbers when they take it, usually with meals and without too many carbs at the same time is the least noisy. However some people do see a local effect, probably due to carb blocking as well as the liver slowing properties, so if you do then playing with the timing might be useful. [/QUOTE]
