drinking too much can damage anyone. and yes, alcohol affects the blood sugar, but as long as you monitor it, it isnt a problem. i have a drink every now and then, but i dont get drunk.

Yes. Your body treats alcohol like any other sugar (alcohol is a sugar). Her blood sugar will be very hard to control and her life will be shortened by drinking. Have her go into treatment; she's an alcoholic.

damage the body it does -- sugars are, well sugar. Alc has sugar, yes it does.

Yeah, the sugar in booze is bad for you. Next day your sugar can drop. It hurting her liver bad too

Sounds like AA meetings are in order.

Yes it can and does.

Alcohol triggers hypos--sometimes serious hypos.

Alcohol makes your liver very busy. When it's busy with alcohol it doesn't have the time to deal with blood sugars.

If she's gonna drink, she's best to make sure she's got some food inside her first.
