My neuropathy does affect balance, but during my drinking years I had fallen numerous times with head injuries, which I’m sure didn’t help.
Reducing or eliminating caffeine and smoking I have been told reduces the numbness, pins and needles. Physical therapy really improves the balance issues.
16 0z. of whiskey every night, not including wine & beer...it was killing him.
Hello @readyman1 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on alcohol related neuropathy, which you can find here:

I see that @casey1329 and @davelobb12 have both joined you as well. What is the correlation between the psoas muscle and neuropathy that you mentioned?
My husband experienced some nerve damage in his feet & legs from drinking. However, he was able to stop, 7 months so far, and is feeling better then ever. I should add that he had fallen several times due to weakness and balance issues. I wish you ...good luck !
