Hi gnnir,
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.
Kitt was just saying hello and welcome.
I can't help you as I don't have the knowledge needed to answer your specific questions but I can suggest perhaps posting on the
Alcoholism, Addiction and Recovery Forum while you wait for answers here.
There's some excellent info on that forum relating to Peripheral Neuropathy and alcohol specifically.

There are other threads there about the same subject as well.
take care there.
