According to the Mayo Clinic, excessive alcohol consumption can increase a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes. When women consume more than one drink per day, or when men consume more than two drinks per day, the pancreas may become inflamed. When inflammation develops, the pancreas may not be able to secrete insulin. This eventually leads to diabetes.
No. However, there is extensive medical research evidence that drinking alcohol in moderation reduces the risk of developing type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes. You do not catch diabetes, it is not infectious. It is thought that a persons genes can influence their risk of developing diabetes but no one gene can predict its development. A combination of genetic risk and environmental factors are thought to be needed to trigger diabetes.
