What Causes Tingling Feeling In Legs After Alcohol Consumption?
Whenever I drink alcohol I get a weird tingling sort of numb feeling in my legs. It happens almost immediately and it doesn t last the entire night or day. I just get that feeling when I first start drinking and after awhile it either goes away or I just don t notice it anymore. I ve read that people who drink a lot can damage their nerves causing the tingle.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Tingling feeling in legs after alcohol consumption could be due to Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) deficiency. Yes, it is caused due to damage to the peripheral nerves. Kindly take a course of multivitamin capsules and reduce your alcohol intake so that it will help you to overcome the problem. Otherwise, the deficiency status might increase and can affect central nervous system as well. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
