I ran out of my B-complex vitamins, kept drinking daily as usual anyway and coudln't be assed to get more. Well, after a couple days, other than the shakes, smell and vomit, it's like half of my brain is gone. I fuck up even the easiest tasks at work and at times lost the ABILITY TO SPEAK.
I was talking to some coworkers and tried to join the conversation but only spouted gibberish. Coudln't form a sentence. They looked at me with that look of pity and disgust, so now if I'm not fired or disciplined, which would be a miracle, I'll be forever branded the wet-brained idiot that I am.
Take your vitamins kids! And sleep! Chairs.
chronic alcohol consumption inhibits your gut's ability to properly absorb b vitamins, which means alchies should probably invest in sublingual b complex supplements. I take sprouts brand women's sublingual b complex despite being male as it seems to have a wider range of b vitamins than the standard version oddly enough. dissolves much faster than an Amazon brand I've tried as well. only downside is the taste (slightly bitter) but you fuckers also drink liquor straight so stfu.
goated info here
I should clarify for those who aren't aware, sublingual means it goes under your tongue and absorbs through the blood vessels there, therefore bypassing your gut altogether.
Yep. Definitely the most important is B1. You cannot take too much so I pound B1 pills like crazy so I probably bump a gram a day. Our absorption is so awful, and supplements don't absorb well anyway so you always want to take over the recommended dose.
Swallow B1 (thiamine) like candy when you're drinking. Get some electrolyte packs to make a drink. B100 and magnesium and a daily vitamin as well. If your pee isn't bright yellow, you're doing it wrong.
Bro ye it’s real I’ve seen a friend almost paralysed due to lack of b1. Supplement it bro !!!
I've tripled my thiamine dosage and doubled the B12 recently because I am concerned with how I've been feeling. Nutrition is key, else you can't drink.
I'm kind of amazed how others don't notice how bad I am, but maybe this is just the part of the trip where I'll wake up in hospital surrounded by concerned family.
As for sleep, definitely important but I don't I just pass out. Drunken sleep only half counts.
YES need that REM sleep
your still trying to talk to people?
Haha he’s trying to be a person?!
Work a job? In THIS decade?
If at all possible, make an appointment to get B1 and B12 injections
A deficiency of Vitamin B1 is one of the primary causes of Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome, known colloquially as wet-brain. It can rob you of the ability to speak coherently. It's treatable early on, but you might need to taper for a bit and make sure you get the vitamins back up.
I use different passwords for everything as sort of a test for my memory. I have no problem sober and healthy. But after a bender, can't remember any of them.
