Korsakoff's syndrome is caused by lack of thiamine (vitamin B$$_{1}$$), which affects the brain and nervous system. People who drink excessive amounts of alcohol are often thiamine deficient.

Alcohol can inflame the stomach lining, cause frequent vomiting and make it difficult for the body to absorb the key vitamins it receives.
