A member asked:
Is an average of 4-5 drinks per day for 4 years enough to induce alcoholic peripheral neuropathy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: All of us have different tolerances and susceptibilities to alcohol. It could be the cause but your primary care physician or a neurologist should also look for other types of neuropathy as some are treatable.
