[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2119057, member: 401801"] So you're 18 and no-one bothered to tell you insulin and (a fair amount of) alcohol aren't a good idea?! Someone dropped the ball there. I never did drink much, -teetotal now- but I know my friends used to be amazed they got home at all with their binge weekends, didn't even know how they got there. That's just kind of what you do at that age. Weird. You can drink, a little... But if you don't want to lag behind after one or two, just have a diet coke and say it's a Bacardi coke, should someone ask. (Avoids peer pressure bull****) You've spontaneously developed a taste for those. ;) I suppose having a slight buzz is okay...? Being drunk while on insulin though is dangerous, you don't want to go there. Feels too much like a hypo, you wouldn't be able to tell 'm apart, and you won't be able to respond adequately and head the hypo off if you're not 100% "there". Just make sure that if you do drink something, you eat something to go with it. And test your heart out. [/QUOTE]
