alcohol causes mood changes forgetfulness ( dementia) , reduces vit B 12 and folic acid levels . causes deranged cholesterols all damaging ur health . leg pains could be due to neuropathy associated with alcohol secondary to faulty VIT B 12 metabolism . keep uric acid controlled by medications and repeated levels checked.
exercise , reduce alcohol consumption , and vegetable diet will all help u. take care
