In my personal experience, alcohol does not drop my BG ... it raises them slightly - the absorption profile will obviously depend on the type of drink ... but more importantly; assuming that I have taken a normal amount of Lantus, they will drop back again.

However, the dangerous thing about alcohol is that it can cause to to not be aware of an impeding low ... hence the warnings about going low while drinking.
