I am not able to answer that one, I do not drink alcoholic beverages. I know some people who take insulin have very low blood sugar a while after drinkig alcohol. I never liked the taste or odor of alcohol and I would not have started drinking even if I was not diabetic. Many diabetics do drink, I know that for a fact. You have to know how it will affect you and be careful when on a trip. Experimenting at home before you travel might enable you to know what to expect. Good luck!
