Hi @daverave, Welcome to Connect. This is an older discussion and I'm not sure if your question was for @wilcy or @jeffrapp who started the discussion. The conclusion I came to personally was that being and alcoholic can damage nerves and cause neuropathy and since I already have neuropathy I just decided I didn't need to take any chances on making my neuropathy worse. I have no medical training or background so I'm guessing there are a lot of different factors that can play a part and moderation is probably OK as in all thing.

Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy?

John, has your neuropathy continued to get worse, or are you stable (and for how many years)?My neuropathy has slowly progressed for 11 years. Four years ago I did not wear braces for drop feet. Three years ago I started wearing leg braces. Two years ago I added using a cane. Now my children think I should use a walker! Has your neuropathy continued to worsen?

Thanks!
