When I drink, I try to either drink straight liquor or light beer. I try to test every 2 hours and, based on the bg, I may graze on food if possible. I try to avoid sweet mixers or sweet liqueurs. I always set my pump to a drinking basal rate, which is my lowest rate and does not increase to compensate for DP in the morning as I find that I do not have DP after a night of drinking. Common sense goes a long way when drinking...
