Hey there,

glad to see you found the forums. I don't drink often, but when I do I tend to drink hard. The key is test, test, test. I usually test before I start drinking, then either ever hour or every two drinks, which ever is first. Also remember to have a buddy to watch your back. Let them know where you keep your glucose tabs and when to give them to you if you get too low, but are still conscious.

The biggest danger seems to be that if you pass out drunk, you can easily go into serious hypoglycemia.

Be careful, and have a drink for me!
