Not good: Aside from the very large number of grams if sugar/calories, you run the risk of severe hypoglycemia following that much alcohol.

Moderate OK: It is ok to drink moderately if you have diabetes, but remember alcohol has calories and needs to be considered as part of your dietary intake. Also, alcohol without food can lead to low glucose later. Rarely, alcohol can interact with some medications.
