If the definition of "alcoholic" is "one who often drinks more than they intend", then I am an alcoholic.
That doesn't scare me though, if my courses in Anthropology at the University of Waterloo taught me one thing, it is that much of what I hear about alcohol use and abuse is mythology. I don't listen to scare stories anymore, I just use my meter to tell me if I am at risk.
The problem, of course is that once I've had a few it is difficult to take a reading, so I try to plan in advance what I readings are likely to be. Get BG reading low, then have a beer before the whiskey, This is not recommended for all....it works, more or less, for me.

What I enjoy about drinking beer is that while the carbohydrates will raise blood sugar, about 8 hours later the alcohol may reduce blood sugar. I've had no side effect from drinking moderate amounts of beer — no more than 2 12oz servings in a day.

I love beer, and wine, and vodka... but anyway, I have found interestingly enough, that I beer and just about any alcoholic drinks, bring down my bg levels, so it's my excuse to get some extra carbs in my system while bringing down my bg. Examples: Pizza and beer, Steak fries and beer, potato chips and beer, not the healthiest choices, I know, but it works.

Beer, oh wonderful beer. I was told that only the occasional lite beer would be in my future. Why would I do that? I'd rather save the splurge on cookies. But a real beer?!! A Hopdevil, a Delerium!? Can it be? So many beers, so little time! I will be visiting the Black Raven Brewery again very, very soon!

Ahhhh....people just like me! One of the best things about starting mealtime insulin was being able to drink beer again. OMG, that first pint of Guinness in a pub, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! It had been about 10 years! Still have to watch how much I drink. More than 2 leaves me very prone to hypoglycemia.
