cannot say in your particular case without being in direct contact, and more info. For example, if you are on insulin or a type 1 (seems very unlikely given your meds) then alcohol is not a good idea. Then, if there are liver problems (and the elevated liver enzymes would imply it) then alcohol is not a good idea. In general reasonable amounts of alcohol (1 drink a day or less) are not a big problem in general in diabetes but can change the sugar level up or down in some.
