Alcohol addiction is a serious condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and one of its lesser-known but severe consequences is “wet brain.” Also known as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, wet brain is a brain disorder caused by a lack of thiamine (vitamin B1), which is often linked to long-term alcohol use. Switching to sobriety through a drinking detox program can lower the chances of developing this condition. This disorder can cause permanent harm to the brain and greatly affect a person’s quality of life.
