For many years some experts have said, that only alcohol abuse affected nerves thru poor nutrition. Improve the alcoholism and you improve nutrition, and many therapies involve B complex vitamins. Specifically B1.

However there is a new study showing direct damage in animals from alcohol itself to neurons.

So it is difficult for anyone to really say if you should avoid all alcohol or if you could have a small amount occasionally.

Here is a pretty good comprehensive link:
