I've gone hypo hours after drinking.
The rule I follow is after I'm done drinking, I set a temp basal of 50% for one hour for each drink I've had plus one hour. So if I have four beers, I'll set a 50% basal for five hours after my last one.
Scheiner in "Think Like A Pancreas" has another formula which if I remember right is even more aggressive than mine.
Of course I bolus for most drinks.
