The pathway by which alcohol is metabolized is complex and varies from person to person and genetics:

Alcohol and blood sugar:

You'll notice that in the short run, alcohol consumption may lower blood sugar. This is why oral anti-diabetic drugs have an alcohol warning attached to them.
But in the long run, alcohol over time used heavily, will cause the reverse.
People who do drink alot should pay attention to thiamine intake and/or benfotiamine. This helps get rid of the aldehydes produced and it is the aldehydes which cause many PN type symptoms.
I think both of these links are very good.
