Merry Christmas everyone, I was only diagnosed T2 3 weeks ago what harm will it do if i drink vast amounts of beer and wine today as i see this as my last chance to over indulge in the things i like and will miss in the future it will only be today and i have been really good since learning of my condition, very low carbs (just from veg and salad and fruit) i just want one final blow out.:D

Well, obviously I wouldn't want to encourage overindulgence, but if it was me I would go ahead and enjoy myself! 🙂 Have a great day Mark!
 
Mark have a lovely day but make sure you have some headache tablets handy.. It sounds like you might need them 🙂
 
i will feel so guilty in the morning i will end up going for a run or perhaps a stumble

Mark I have been diabetic for 43 years and since I became a young adult I have enjoyed plenty of booze at Christmas:D. Enjoy yourself and, as suggested, make sure that you have hangover tablets ready:D
 
I endorse all that has been said so far; as I read/type this, I'm enjoying one of my favourite Chrimbo drinks, an alcoholic St. Clements (a shot of Southern Comfort (the original orange variety of course; I don't think it works as well with the lime or cherry varieties) topped up to a pint with (diet) lemonade), and earlier I had a Dark Princess (the same but Tia Maria and Pepsi Max) and a French Coffee (strong filter coffee with brandy and cream). 🙂
 
I did not go too mad i had 6 pints of various real ales, half a dozen chocolates lots of cheese and pickles and of course the traditional dinner only one spud though.
BG this morning 8.2 best i eat properly today and do some exercise.
Robert i like your style with the cocktails
