Alcohol's B1 drain: Severe Thiamine deficiency common in drinkers.

• Excessive alcohol consumption primarily leads to a deficiency of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine).
• Thiamine is vital for converting food into energy, nervous system function, and proper brain function.
• Alcohol causes B1 deficiency by leading to poor diet, inhibiting intestinal absorption, and straining the liver.
• Severe B1 deficiency can result in Wernicke Encephalopathy (confusion, eye issues, loss of coordination) and Korsakoff Psychosis (memory loss).
• Heavy drinkers are advised to maintain a balanced diet and consult doctors due to alcohol's risks to physical and mental health.

Why It Matters: Excessive alcohol depletes Vitamin B1, causing serious brain and nerve damage.
