A member asked:
How long does it take for someone to develop alcoholic neuropathy? i started drinking 3 years ago and feel numbness, tingling next day after drinking.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: The time span is very variable. How much do you drink in an average day? Judging from your question, you will have a lot more serious issues from alcohol to worry about in the future than a possible neuropathy.
