I know everyone is different but since I am a 24 yr old female, I crave the sweet "girly" drinks that so many of my friends partake in. But my sugars always spiked into the 300 - 400s because of the amount of sugar. What works for me - I mix vodka (usually 1/3 of the drink) and the sweeter stuff (the other 2/3). The vodka has enough alcohol content that my blood sugars will stay stable all night long and I never have to worry about hypos or highs.
