Fun fact, if you drink alcohol it prevents the uptake of certain vitamins. Which after extended time leads to things like Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome.

I've seen this before and it's not pretty. It's like dementia.

I require additional information. Just how much alcohol and for how long are we talking?

That is unclear. However once symptoms start you have a matter of days before it progresses to it's full extent. Which is unfortunate because alcohol blocks the uptake of B1 vitamins for days

Super. I'll add that to my list of things I will try not to think about...

Or, and hear me out on this one: just don't fucking drink excessively.

I asked how much and he said it's unclear!! For all I know I can be entirely moderate and still have this happen.
