Hi...Welcome to SC. From what i understand it is ok to take met but don't drink too much. I will bump this so someone can answer it better for me. Till then take it easy.

I think it's something to the effect of : if you consume alcohol while on met/gluc, it could cause your blood sugar to drop pretty low and then you could pass out... DON'T quote me though, that's just what I've heard. (BUT, before I heard this I had a couple of drinks and got REAL tipsy REALLY quick... maybe it intensifies the way your body reacts to alcohol?) I know its not a good thing... and I felt sick afterward. Thats just my experience.

I also take Metformin and in my experience the metformin makes the alcohol more potent. I feel tipsy after 1/2 a drink. They say to limit your alcohol intake.
