[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2334522, member: 517579"] Old soak here. Depends on you and what you drink. One glass of whatever is probably not an issue for most - it's what the one leads to usually that's the problem. The main risk for me is that after a few drinks I might eat something I shouldn't. Personally I find that, if anything, alcohol itself tends to lower my BG. Despite this I have almost stopped drinking regular beer, but there is an acceptable low carb beer called Resolution, brewed by Marstons. Bit hard to find and I order mine online. There are others but generally quite unpleasant and not really pushing the beer button. Red wines and champagne/prosecco etc has zero effect on me and spirits likewise - I do not use mixers. You might not be the same, so I'd advise testing. A lot of prepared "in the bottle" drinks seem to have a huge amount of carbs/sugar, and probably best avoided. Others have mentioned sherry/port already. [/QUOTE]
