Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is likely that some of the symptoms described are related to the high intake of alcohol. Alcohol can be associated with a deficiency is some vitamins that are important for normal nerve and brain function.
The lack of these vitamins can result in an imbalance that can cause falls, memory loss, confusion that are being seen.
It can also irritate and inflame the stomach and this can affect appetite.
it is difficult to decrease alcohol use on your own and you may want to seek medical help.
The doctor can also rule out other conditions that could cause these symptoms.
I hope this helps
