( will cause irreversible damage)
- Damage the nervous system
- Cause Other organs to malfunction
- Alter levels of nutrients in the body; includes; (vitamin B1), folate (vitamin B9), and vitamins B6 and B12. These are needed for proper nerve function. A poor diet can make problems even worse.
Alcohol-related neurologic disease includes the following conditions:

- alcoholic neuropathy
- alcoholic cerebellar degeneration
