<\/a><\/p>\nDid you know that vitamin deficiencies occur primarily when eating habits are abnormal?\u00a0 This is most common in heavy social drinkers and alcoholics; they fill up on alcohol and don\u2019t maintain a normal diet.\u00a0 The calories in alcohol are called \u201cempty\u201d calories because they lack the proteins, vitamins, and other nutritional substances people need.\u00a0 The resulting vitamin deficiency, which is usually a thiamin deficiency, can be very sneaky!\u00a0 The symptoms \u2013 confusion, memory problems, and difficulties in walking \u2013 may come on very gradually.\u00a0 And because family members and friends are often not aware of how much someone is drinking, they may not think of a vitamin deficiency as the explanation.\u00a0 If caught in time, this condition is readily treatable by eliminating alcohol and adding vitamins and proper diet.<\/p>\n
