Alcohol impairs the absorption of thiamin, while increasing its elimination. Niacin is used up in the conversion and detoxification of alcohol. Also, vitamin B|2 absorption is diminished in alcoholics. Another B vitamin, vitamin B6, is depleted by the consumption of alcohol. Alcohol is broken down to acetaldehyde in the body. Acetaldehyde breaks the vitamin B6 coenzymes loose from their enzymes and the vitamin B6 is lost. Drinking alcohol can decrease the absorption of folate. In addition, heavy consumption of alcohol can prevent the liver from retaining folate.
