Question: Why does drinking alcohol lower blood sugar?
Answers:
----------------------------------------…
"Alcohol is considered a poison by your body, and all efforts are made to excrete it, including the cessation of maintaining healthy blood glucose levels. Studies have shown that alcohol interferes with all three sources of glucose and the hormones needed to maintain healthy blood glucose levels...."
"..Drinking as little as 2 ounces of alcohol on an empty stomach can lead to very low blood sugar levels.."
"..Research has shown that acute consumption increases insulin secretion, causing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and can also impair the hormonal response that would normally rectify the low blood sugar..."
--------------------------------------…
In brief : Alcohol is so toxic,getting rid of it is top priority and other processes are neglected.

Graham hit the point. It is the simple fact that alcohol stops liver from secreting any glucose at all. That is the reason why alcohol acts as a cure for type-2 diabetes where the blood sugar levels are high. A type-2 diabetes patient with frequent drinking is random diagnosed by blood test ..
