What Could Pins And Needles In Arms And Legs Post Alcohol Intake Indicate?
I m a 19 year old female, who doesn t drink at all usually, but I do enjoy one or two alcoholic drinks with my meal on a Saturday night. But I ve been starting to notice that as soon as I even take a sip of alcohol my arms and legs feel like I have severe pins and needles, almost feeling numb! HELP!!!

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
The symptoms you are experiencing like pins and needles in arms and legs after alcohol intake is probably because of vitamin deficiency.
Generally alcohol is known to cause Thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency.
You can take multi-vitamin (B-complex) capsules once a day for a month.
That should make you comfortable next time you consume alcohol. Take care that you don't exceed the limits.
All the best.
