[QUOTE="M9483, post: 2247227, member: 522321"] Hello everyone. I am knew to this site and want to first say thank all for contributing on the wealth of information. So my question is if its alright to drink alcohol while drinking metformin? I just want to point out a few things first on my condition. I was diagnosed with Type 2 as of July last year. I started taking metformin of 2000mg a day with an A1C level of 11.2. I stopped cold turkey drinking of any kind when i was in the emergency room. 4 months later, my a1c dropped to 9. 3 months after it was at 7. As of 2 months ago, im now at 5.4. Im assuming thats good. For the past few months the doctor lowered it to taking one pill of 500mg a day. I wish he told me i can stop completely but i guess not yet. It's been some crazy times lately as most are aware. Before July last year, my favorite drink was whiskey. So back to my question, is it safe for me to have my first drink since july last year while drinking one 500mg a day? I heard drinking it with seltzer water is ok i guess. Im just concerned on the metformin thing. Thank all. [/QUOTE]
