There is some good news about the Michelob Ultra I drink. After being on
this "drug" for several months, I find that the nasty mental and
physical effects are greatly diminished. I am acquiring a tolerance. I
don't feel nearly so drunk from drinking a single beer. I realize some
may laugh at the thought of feeling drunk from a single beer, but I
spent my entire life without drinking alcohol. I had no tolerance. In
the beginning, one beer made me feel drunk, (this feels awful to me) and
reduced my balance. Meaning I could easily trip and fall down.

I do not laugh at all!
To me, one beer gives a buzz that is pleasant to me, and results in too
much alcohol in my blood to drive. (Good thing I don't have a car :-) )

It does bring my BG down, but my numbers have been so good lately that I
don't drink every day.

Was it Alan who suggested having a pre-breakfast snack in the morning to
stop the DP? It seemed to work wonders for me, thanks very much!

I take my FBG as soon as I awake in the morning, then immediately have the protein shake.

Thanks Bjorn for not laughing at me. I start my day with a protein shake to bring down my FBG. If it is a bad FBG, I start the day with a beer to bring it way down. I have figured out finally that pretty consistently my FBG is related to how many hours I have slept. If I sleep 10 hours, I know I am going to be looking at an FBG in 130s. Too close to 140 for my comfort zone. A beer first thing in the morning really sucks.

Glad to hear that the beer gives you a pleasant buzz. I wish it did for me. Besides effecting my cognitive and balance functions it just makes me feel crummy. It sort of puts a barrier between me and the world. It dulls my senses.

I had a beer once and then did yoga. Wow, I will never do that again. It absolutely ruined my yoga experience. I felt like some sort of automaton going through the motions.
