heavy drinking interfers with your pancreas (the organ that makes insulin in your body)

If you already have diabetes, one problem with heavy drinking is that your liver stops pumping out glucose while it's processing the alcohol. So if you don't have food in your system and your liver isn't pumping out glucose either, then your blood sugar level can crash REALLY low. Insulin reaction low.
