Answer: Alcohol can influence the blood sugar levels causing hypoglycemia.

Explanation:

Hypoglycemia is a condition in which the body experiences low blood sugar levels. Alcohol abuse can be one of the reasons for hypoglycemia. The occasional drinkers are affected negatively by this. It increases the secretion of insulin hormone which is a hormone necessary for keeping a balance of blood sugar levels in the body. The excess secretion of insulin can lead to decrease in blood sugar concentration and resulting in hypoglycemia. This can lead to type 1 diabetes.
