A person that is a diabetic shouldnt be drinking any kind of alcoholic drinks. It is bad for them.. and could cause problems.. My boyfriend is diabetic.. and I literally have to fight with him for him not to drink. I know alot of people who do drink that are diabetic.. but they really shouldnt..
Hope This Helped... Good Luck!

It would be smart to avoid drinking, unless the person has their diabetes well under control. Alcohol tends to lower blood sugar, and can lead to hypoglycemia.
So if they're monitoring their blood sugar levels regularly, maintaining a good weight, and have the approval of their doctor, a diabetic can drink safely *in moderation*.
Otherwise...things can get pretty bad. I had a friend who had diabetes and didn't control it properly, and he lost several fingers and toes before he died - of complications arising from diabetes. He was only in his 50s, but he looked about 90 on his deathbed.
Here's a website with some more information about diabetes and alcohol:
