I understand your concern.
Long standing use of Alcohol can cause peripheral neuritis which then make muscles feel weak.
Please see your Physician for Diagnosis, Therapy and and Treatment.

Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
