Alcohol partially shuts down the liver which means that gluconeogensis (the liver conversion of blood proteins to glucose) is inhibited. Therefore for some time after a few drinks there is little contribution of glucose from this process. A few hours later gluconeogensis resumes, raising your blood sugar.
