But I believe I've read before that it has something to do with all the sugar in alcohol, possibly that the body continues to overproduce insulin or something?

Anyway just wondering because I've been noticing that if I forget to eat lunch in a timely fashion (which I usually do) I end up with a head full of angry by mid-afternoon. Today I really botched it by also having too much caffeine and I'm still kind of recovering from my 4pm crash.

Just curious if anyone's experienced the same or could point me towards any info on the topic.
