Some people may have to abstain and others not.
Go one month without any alcohol at all, and see if you notice a difference. If you do, then that is your answer.
People vary genetically in how they metabolize alcohols. The enzymes that do this are made from vitamin B1, Thiamine.
Some have very low levels of these enzymes (common in Asian people) and cannot metabolize alcohol at all. These people flush uncomfortably when drinking, and may vomit often and after only a little alcohol.
Taking thiamine extra has always been recommended for people who drink. The newer better form of thiamine is called benfotiamine. This is not commonly found in stores, and most of us buy it online. I use the Doctor's Best brand.
Drinkers who have PN symptoms, should be taking this supplement, IMO. 300mg a day is a typical dose.
