Padre' is right. One of the things that long term drinking causes is a decrease in the thiamine levels in the body. Many times alcoholics are prescribed B vitamins because of this. Either way as long as one is not taking more than the recommended dose of the vitamins they are a good supplement. Folic acid helps with brain activity so giving your body a supplement per the bottles dosing recommendations should not be a problem. You might consider as with any medication, although these are over the counter vitamins, letting your doctor know you are taking them as all medications have the potential to interact with other medications.
