Alcohol-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Quick Answer: Chronic heavy alcohol use causes peripheral neuropathy through B-vitamin deficiency and direct nerve toxicity. Symptoms include burning feet, weakness, and balance problems. Sobriety + B-vitamins are essential for recovery.
Recovery Path
Stopping alcohol, B-complex supplementation, physical therapy, and time. Recovery can take months to years. Earlier intervention = better outcomes.

FAQ
Will my neuropathy reverse if I stop drinking?
