Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

You are requesting dietary tips while slowly weaning off alcohol. The important thing is to eat a balanced diet with lots of vegetables. You should also buy over the counter vitamins including folate, B12, thiamine, and a multivitamin, and take these daily. Drink plenty of water. These basic tips will keep you healthy while the alcohol is leaving your system.
