hi,
your numbness and tingling is mostly due to vitamin deficiency which is very common in alcoholic patients.
but neurological examination needed to rule out other neurological sign.
also your liver function should also be done to rule out any significant liver pathology.
thiamine , vit-b12 and other vitamin supplements needed for numbness.
if liver function also found altered then other medication also needed.
(plan of management depend upon your investigation's result)
also abstinence from alcohol is also must for early and better recovery.
