Alcohol will cause a severe deficiency of Niacin, Vitamin B3. A severe deficiency leads to insanity, one of the Four Ds - Dermatitis, Diahrreah, Dementia and Death. The medical name for the symptoms of a severe niacin deficiency is pellegra. We have "enriched bread" today, because when flour production technology changed back in the 1890s and the millers changed from stone ground flour to steel rolling mills, the greater heat involved in the new process killed the niacin and other B vitamins in the grain. The result was an epidemic of insanity. After long resistance by the milling companies, in the late 1930s the national government forced the businesses to replace some of the nutrients the new process eliminated.
Niacin is essential to the maintainance of the insulating myelin sheath that covers the nerves. The delusions and faulty thinking of alcoholics are symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia, which appear to be the result of damage to the brain. The sores that develop on the legs of homeless alcoholics were once called wine sores, but they also are a manifestation of a niacin deficiency. Chronic diahrreah interferes with the absorption of nutrients by the body, accelerating an alcoholic's slide into not only overt damage to the brain and internal organs but also into severe malnutrition and death.
