I know most of them contain sugar. But, is their any out there that doesn't have alot of sugar in them? Or any beer that can be had. I have a friend that is drinking alot of flavored shots like lemon drops etc. I want to tell her there is something out there she can drink. She won't drink a non-alcoholic drink. Before she kills herself.

Everyone always says how alcohol turns into sugar, but I never noticed my blood sugar levels rise from drinking beer or wine, any more than consuming the same amount of any other food would. Just remember what you are ingesting; you should avoid the sweet drinks and stick with beer or wine; monitor your blood sugar at the end of the night (at least) and don't get too wasted.
The biggest concern for diabetics drinking alcohol is that diabetics normally have an acute awareness of their blood glucose level and how it is trending, and as a result make informed decisions at bedtime: whether to eat something, take insulin, or to do nothing at all. On the contrary, when a diabetic is drunk, they are less aware of their present condition, and like a typical drunk, tend to make erratic, capricious and ill-informed decisions, such as eating 4 slices of pizza and taking 20 units of insulin before bed. That is the true danger.
I am an alcoholic who does not drink. I went on a 6 month drinking binge and wound up visited by paramedics and in the hospital 4 times in the last two months of this time, coming within a hair's width of dying due to improper eating and medication choices. My entire system became very fragile, was having severe, life-threatening hypoglycemic episodes even while sober. After the last time it happend, I swore off drinking (over a year ago) and I haven't had any problems since.

I am a diabetic and I love to drink alcohol! I have done extensive reading and this is what I advise you to do. Generally speaking - all alcohol metabolises into glucose - so it's really the quantity that's important. I normally try and have diet beer and otherwise red wine. Of course - you can't have huge amounts of it - and you have to watch out what you snack with the drink.
What helps me sometimes is to have a spritzer - so a little wine topped with soda - it's a drink you can stretch for a while, and repeat without feeling guilty!

Can I drink alcohol?
Yes, in moderation. Moderation is defined as two drinks a day for men and one drink a day for women. A drink is a 5-ounce glass of wine, a 12-ounce light beer, or 1-1/2 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits. Make sure that your medications don't require avoiding alcohol, and get your doctor's okay.
