Answer (2)

Alcohol-induced brain damage can lead to Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, a condition resulting from thiamine deficiency due to chronic alcohol use. Other disorders like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntington's disease are not directly caused by alcohol. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome specifically illustrates the neurotoxic impact of alcohol on the brain. ;
