Alcohol consumption can negatively impact folate levels in the body by impairing its absorption and metabolism. Chronic alcohol intake may lead to decreased intestinal absorption of folate and increased urinary excretion, which can result in folate deficiency. This deficiency can subsequently contribute to various health issues, including anemia and increased risk of neural tube defects during pregnancy. Additionally, alcohol can interfere with the conversion of folate into its active form, further exacerbating the deficiency.
