Drinking beer lowers blood sugar levels in healthy adults and people with diabetes.

CONTESTED PARTIAL

Is it true that drinking beer lowers blood sugar levels in healthy adults and people with diabetes?
Partly. One clinical review reports that occasional alcohol consumption generally does not worsen blood sugar control in diabetics and may even be beneficial, while a small acute study in six healthy subjects found beer did not lower postprandial glucose relative to water (shochu did). Neither source directly tests whether drinking beer lowers blood sugar in healthy adults and people with diabetes.
