On this particular unplanned night, in the words of Micky Flanagan, I was "out", then I was "out out". Stuck to low carb drinks all evening, with a few pints of water in between too. I was 4.1 when I got home and tested. Next day I had a horrendous hangover, worse than I've had in years, and I tested at 4.3 on waking (normally around 6 to 6.5 at best here, so alcohol was still having an effect I'd guess). This evened out back to "normal" ranges through the hangover day, then I saw the slightly raised levels for the next few days after that. Fair to say that I don't have a desire to repeat the experience soon or often, low carb and binge drinking isn't something I'd recommend. I think it's an occasional glass of red with a meal for me from now on. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
