Hey all,

brand new here. I was recently diagnosed w/ type 1 diabetes and I wanted to hear from some of you about drinking alcohol... I like to drink, and when I drink, I like to drink a lot! I've been searching all over the internet, but have only found the same textbook type of info on this... 2 drinks only, no empty stomach, etc...

I wanted to hear from some of you who like to go out to bars etc. on the weekends and drink more than 2 drinks... we're talking like 6 to 8 drinks...

any of you "partiers" out there have some advice (other than "don't drink 6 drinks")....

What type of drinks? hard alcohol vs. beer, effects, monitoring glucose, insulin injections while drinking?... any info would be appreciated..Jack Daniel's?

I'm aware that I will obviously need to make lifestyle changes, but I still want to go out and "party with the guys"....

thanks.
