From: Knowledge, safety, and impact of alcohol consumption in young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a qualitative study

Quotations (participant no.)

“I drink to have fun at parties, I’m not really a casual drinker. So, if I am drinking it’s for a reason which is usually to get drunk and go to a party and have fun… It’s usually like all or nothing [with drinking]” (Participant 3)

“Sometimes it can get messy [drinking alcohol] with the people my age, we’re all about 19–21, so we’re all still quite young and a little bit ambitious. So, some nights they’ll send it hard, and they’ll go right from the get-go, and they won’t remember anything the next morning” (Participant 5)
