Hi Ashley, I find myself in a lot of situations where drinking is accepted and welcome. (Gotta love advertising) I’ve gotten away from the beer because the carbs can vary so much. Here in Ohio beers can have up to 12% ABV which has made the microbrews in the area flourish. However microbrews can have a wide variety of carbs in them. I’ve gone to Captain and Diet Coke as my drink of choice. Here’s how if breaks down: Beers have carbs but a low amount so be careful not to OD on insulin when drinking beer (usually between 5-10 grams per beer); wine = much more sugar again you have to be careful because it’s easy to burn off the sugar, wine sugars are from fruit juice and not complex in nature; liquor can be relatively safe as long as you are mixing in tonic or diet mixers, otherwise you have to account for the cranberry juice, OJ, etc. Those are the guidelines I usually follow, I spent 5 long years perfecting this, oh, and earning a college degree in between! lol
Take Care, Mike
