We have a long thread on our addictions forum that has several people who have struggled with alcohol and its destructive
actions.

http://www.neurotalk.org/alcoholism-...europathy.html

Some on that thread, have improved tremendously and a few who are not moving so quickly to healing.

On that thread is a link with new research about the toxic direct effects of alcohol on nerves in the periphery...DNA damage.

Alcohol Leaves Its Mark on Young People’s DNA | Psych Central News

The ability of people with different genetics, to remove the aldehyde toxins from alcohol metabolism, is probably a reason that studies are not that accurate yet.
These aldehydes are neurotoxic and some people vary in the ability for thiamine to work on those enzymes well.

So while the clinical observations of Dr. Wise Young are very valid...they may not pertain to every drinker equally.
