It was in 1954 when Flink reported alcoholism as a cause of magnesium deficiency. The deficiency of Magnesium was found to be widely prevalent among alcoholics. Based on studies conducted on animals, the magnesium deficiency is aggravated by the hepatic damage primarily caused by the intake of alcohol.
1 The liver is responsible for metabolizing or breaking down alcohol. 2  Because alcohol is a toxin, even small amounts of alcohol cause fatty liver; long-term alcohol use can cause hepatitis and cirrhosis.3  When the liver must process alcohol, the ability for the body to maintain stable blood sugar levels is affected. Because alcohol is a diuretic that increases the output of urine, it can cause the loss of such water-soluble minerals such as zinc, magnesium and potassium. 2  Zinc status appears to be particularly affected by alcohol and zinc deficiency interferes with the ability to taste and smell, further limiting dietary intake.
