Metformin and Alcohol

I have read it can cause that acidosis thing where basically your blood gets acidic which can kill you.

that being said, most people I know on met do drink time to time.

I have had a couple drinks before on met. I don't take my met that day. have no idea if that matters.

alchohol really lowers my BS all by itself.

but really, I am not comfortable drinking while taking met. and the drug does say not to do it.
