It shouldn't, but the bad news is it most probably will (and yes, we are all different, but experience teaches us this).


Even though the complete reason for developing alcohol related PN is not fully understood (according to PN neurologist), it will be a combination of bad food habits (or even skipping food altogether for some), lack of vitamins (B1, B12 etc), your body height (!), the aldehydes coming from processing the alcohol, the congeners, reduced liver function, etc etc.


But once you have it, you become very sensitive to alcohol. Don't trust me on this, you will probably experience it. It's the dream of many to just go back to being a social and responsible drinker, and 99% fails in this - obviously depending if you had a real problem in the first place.


Please don't take this the wrong way: if you can do it, the more power to you! It's just that the statistics (and my experience) show you may waste a lot of time with it, and probably cause more pain than needed. No harm in trying to imagine a way of life without it, even if you don't plan on it yet.


But first things first: keep up what you are doing to turn it around or stop it in its tracks.
