Distilled spirits like alcohol have no carbs. However, they lower your blood glucose levels. You should eat a small snack before drinking.
I'd try one oz of vodka, and check your BG every 30 minutes, just to see what happens. After you get used to that, you could go up to two, if you'd like, but shouldn't really go beyond that.
One shot of vodka is not going to harm you. Just check your blood sugar before and after, and make sure you have some quick-acting carbs on you in case you go low. Alcohol affects each of us differently, but very often, it will make your blood sugar rise initially, then lower it a few hours later.
Vodka is one of the nastier of the alcoholic beverages. burns tongue, throat and all the way down! If you put anything in it to make it taste better it will raise your glucose worse than drinking a glass of orange juice.
One drink is enough for anyone and more than most people need.
