➤ Can excessive alcohol cause neuropathy and why?
Yes. Chronic excessive alcohol intake causes toxic and nutritional neuropathy. Alcohol directly injures peripheral nerves and often produces thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency, impairing nerve metabolism. The typical pattern is a symmetric, length-dependent sensorimotor neuropathy with numbness, tingling, and weakness starting in the feet. Stopping alcohol and correcting deficiencies can improve symptoms.
