Yeah I looked it up. Poor guy. I hope he gets his vitamins and some medical help. We need some little free clinics in the cities for basic stuff like this.
24
u/KBolt99 15d ago
Imo beer and wine should be fortified with very small tasteless amounts of Vitamin B1. Just like how we fortify salt to prevent goiters and fortify cereals to prevent mineral deficiencies. That would totally prevent this whole issue and probably completely eliminate Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome in this country.
But because alcohol isnāt regulated like all other food and drink, those type of pro-consumer moves never happen. Hell, half the time I canāt even find the nutritional information or ingredients for most alcohol, even online its often not available. If they wonāt even tell you what its made of, I highly doubt theyāll start fortifying it with vitamins anytime soon, despite vitamin b1 being extremely cheap.
12
u/Snow_Wonder 15d ago
Alcohol can hinder absorption of some vitamins, especially if itās being consumed in excess. I wonder if this would even be effective?
9
u/Ruddfuckerin 15d ago
It wouldn't. It especially hinders B-vitamin absorption. B1 (Thiamine) deficiency is very common amongst alcoholics for that reason
10
u/RadsCatMD 15d ago
Korsakoff is irreversible. Also, most people who drink alcohol to the point of becoming encephalopathic wouldn't seek out vitamin clinics (they develop this because the majority of their nutrition is alcohol)

u/Upleftright_syndrome 15d ago
That's a good observation. I also feel that maybe he has COPD. You can see the heavy breathing in the beginning.
In the years leading up to my father's death, he moved just like that trying to get as much air as he could into his lungs. The same hunch and everything.

Unlike a tweaker who displays extreme movements, someone that appears to have wet brain has a calmer body but their eyes jolt and thereās random jolts of the body.
