Rum
Becoz It is assumed that it is less harmful than vodka.

When you drink, your liver decreases its ability to release glucose so that it can instead clean the alcohol from your blood. Because glucose production is shut down, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) becomes a risk for people with diabetes, particularly if you drink on an empty stomach or shortly after taking insulin or glucose-lowering oral medications. And because it takes two hours for just one ounce of alcohol to metabolize and leave your system, the risk continues long after you've emptied your glass.

When you drink, the alcohol goes from your stomach straight into your blood. Within 30 to 90 minutes after drinking, the alcohol in your bloodstream hit its highest point. When there is no alcohol in your blood, liver keeps blood sugar level from going too low by changing stored carbohydrate into glucose, the glucose is then release into your blood. However, when alcohol enters your system, the liver treats alcohol as a toxin and works to rid the body of alcohol as quickly as possible.
