Sophia So I asked my dad and he just laughed at me. "You can't drink beer in bavaria without sugar."

Deutschland hat zucker im bier und fleisch im essen. Germany has sugar in beer and meat in meals :)
I am not much of a drinker. The only alcohol I ever consume is hard liquor. I will have a shot or two of whiskey or brandy every now and then. My sugars definitely do drop a few hours later. I usually eat fruit a few hours after drinking to help from going too low.
this past week i went to my endo meeting because i had the same questions about alcohol. and things like regular beer,whine coolers,grenadine drinks,margaritas,daquiris,or anything with coffee in it isnt good because they have a lot of carbohydrates and sugar. they gave me a list of alcoholic drinks that are safe. light beer is fine to drink and dry wines or wine spritzers. the safe hard liquors are vodka, whiskey, gin, and rum but only mix them with diet sodas or plain club sodas. And my doctor aso said drink a cup of water after every couple drinks to keep you hydrated, because when our sugar goes high we already get thirsty, and alcohol dehydrates the body so drink water too.
so is it really dangerous to drink? because of the risk of a low the next morning? or is it more of a risk of a high at night?
