To respond to this question.....

Maybe and maybe not.

It depends on WHAT you drink, how much and whether your
B1 is in good supply.

If you must drink try to use only filtered quality vodka. This form of alcohol has the chemicals of fermentation called congeners removed. Some of these chemicals are aldehydes and irritating. (alcohol is metabolized by B1 and also leads to aldehydes in the blood. These irritate the nerves and brain causing "hangovers")

Benfotiamine or thiamine B1 is the cofactor in removing these aldehydes, (and the aldehydes from the alcohol itself) from your body.

It might be that you cannot drink at all. Filtered vodkas advertise this. Skyy is one. Smirnoff the other. Avoid martinis as the Vermouth would have the congeners in it.

Aged whiskeys are also problematic.

If you have a "problem" with drinking too much, it is best to not drink at all.
