Answer 1

Answer: Chronic Alcohol Use

Step-by-step explanation:

Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome happens due to a lack of thiamine. This essential vitamin changes (converts) sugar into energy. When you have too little thiamine, your brain doesn't have enough energy to work properly. The most common cause of thiamine deficiency is chronic alcohol use.
