Alcohol and diabetes

Hi,
My name is Kris. I am very new to diabetes and I was wandering if anyone could give me any advice on drinking? I am not a big drinker but I do occasionally have a beer or ten with my freinds. I have not had a drink in over a month since I found out I am diabetic. A friend of mine invited me to a play-off party tonite to cheer on my Indianapolis Colts and I know there will be drinking involved and I was wandering if any of you could give me a heads up. Thanks so much
