But he's alive, smiling....and counting the moments he is allowed his 2 glasses of wine each day. Ugh.

Anyway, I think its pretty well known that long term vitamin B1 deficiency is the main culprit in WK and many other neurological problems associated with drinking. Maybe you guys should talk to your drs about B1 supplementation....as well as other B vits. Amino's too. But of course, with a drs. direction.
