[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2119126, member: 355878"] Being drunk and being sensible or even safe do not go together - I have seen that quite a few times, and having just that little extra vulnerability or lack of caution can put you at risk. I was always the driver and roadie, so I have had a powerful torch to guide people back to the beach when they ran into the sea - and showed people that there was a great drop to the beach when they were climbing through the railings. I saw, but could not reach someone having an epileptic fit on a dance floor - it was assumed they were drunk as they were limp and unconscious by the time the music was stopped and the lights brought up, so at least I could tell the medics that it was a fit, and that she'd been dropped at least three times as people tried to get her to stand up. If you are going to be on insulin permanently, (which might not be the case if you are a type two), then you will need to exercise a bit more caution - but read up about your condition, as you seem to have been neglected rather lamentably by those who did the diagnosis and organized treatment.
