I think there are two basice issues with drinking.

1) overtime it overloads the metabolic systems that metabolize alcohol. The byproducts of this are aldehydes, which cause the side effects to the nerves. So taking Thiamine B1 may help since that is a cofactor in alcohol metabolism. Benfotiamine is a better version and now available at affordable prices.

2) alcohol is a vasodilator. When feet or hands get more blood flow all of a sudden, then the heat sensing nerves start firing.
This is then perceived as "burning". Stimulation of cold nerves will block this sensation..and menthol in its various forms is the agent most commonly used. Think about winter and getting really cold and coming in suddenly and ears/hands tingle as they warm up.
