Alcohol is an interesting animal. Most drinks contain carbs which raise your BGs, but the alcohol then keeps the liver busy so it does not release its normal sugars and you drop.
I now bolus for drinks then drop my basals back to 25% an hour for every drink plus one hour: 2 drinks I set a 3 hour temp basal rate at 25%. I start the temp basal when my last drink is done. That's me and I really don't have a great feel for whether it works. I've hypoed a few times with alcohol.
