Whisky - Scotch Whisky (1 oz)

Avoid drinking Scotch on an empty stomach; have it with a balanced meal or snack containing protein, healthy fat, and fiber, such as plain Greek yogurt with nuts or eggs with vegetables.

Limit the amount and pace your drinks: sip slowly, alternate with water, and avoid multiple servings in a short period.

Choose a lower-sugar mixer or drink it neat/on the rocks; avoid sweet cocktails, regular soda, juice, and syrups.

Include a slow-digesting carbohydrate if you are prone to lows, such as lentils, chickpeas, oats, or a small serving of beans alongside your meal.

Monitor your glucose more closely for several hours after drinking and overnight, since alcohol-related drops can be delayed.

Do not drink if you have a history of severe lows, and seek urgent help for confusion, fainting, seizure, or inability to safely swallow carbohydrates.
