I find that drinking helps my blood sugar. My explanation is that while my liver is busy burning off the alcohol, it is not pumping the extra glucose (that my body has no way of handling) into my system.
I stick to Grey Goose (Vodka) and Club Soda...maybe a dash of Patron on occassion...and a good Cabernet of course.

Before answering :
We all should know how alcohol affects the liver, and in turn effects the metabolism of glucose. Thus, being said what is the culprit on why people think drinking alcohol causes diabetics to have complications ?
I know many of you are going to say "its worse for diabetics because when they get drunk they forget to take insulin, make poor eating choices, or make an error in insulin."
I seriously want a good debate disregarding these types of answers, because even non-diabetics make poor choices, I guess if we made one it would spell higher consequences, but taking into consideration that we arent getting drunk to the point of inebriation, please share your findings.
