5. Alcohol Use Disorder

Many people around the world have an alcohol use disorder. Signs of a disorder include difficulty regulating alcohol consumption, use of alcohol even after problems develop, or withdrawal symptoms when intake is reduced. Alcohol use disorder can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on how many symptoms develop and their severity. Alcohol can be toxic to nerve tissue, leading to pain or tingling in the extremities. This is called alcoholic neuropathy. People who drink excessively can also develop numbness and tingling from vitamin deficiencies related to alcohol use.
