That alcohol reduces blood glucose is correct. I'm diabetic and wear a CGM and it's fascinating that I can drink a sugary beverage that would typically spike my blood sugar very hard, but if it has alcohol in it my level stays roughly the same or even drops. I have to be very careful about alcohol because too much too fast will drop me dangerously low.
