Understand the Impact: Alcohol can affect blood sugar levels. It may cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if consumed on an empty stomach or lead to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) if mixed with sugary mixers.
Choose Wisely: Opt for lower-carb and lower-sugar alcoholic beverages. Dry wines, light beers, or distilled spirits (like vodka or whiskey) with sugar-free mixers are better choices than sweet cocktails or high-sugar drinks.
Eat Before Drinking: Never drink on an empty stomach. Consuming alcohol with a meal can help slow the absorption of alcohol and reduce its impact on blood sugar.
