Supplements for nutritional deficiencies from alcohol?

My father has always been a heavy drinker, but it's gotten worse since his retirement.

His drinks of choice are about 4 beers a day (every day) and 2 whiskey (free pour) and coke tall glasses at night. Sometimes a lot more.

He's also way more irritable and angry and only eats about once a day because he's "full." He's also tired and sleeps around 3-4 hours every day. He's 68 years old.

He thinks he doesn't have a problem and refuses to see a doctor.

However, he has agreed to start taking supplements as the first step.

Would Thiamine (Vitamin B1) and Magnesium Biglycinate be a good starting point for nutritional deficiencies? He's agreed to mix it into his food.

I'm thinking B1 mixed with his food when he eats and Magnesium in the evening with a snack or water (preferably coffee bec he doesn't really drink water)?

Any help is appreciated from those who've supplemented.

Winston Churchill Animal Hospital rec?

My partner has an older poodle mix with a collapsed trachea and what looks to be beginning stages of arthritis.

The dog already has a vet, but we looked at this hospital bec they seem to offer specialized laser therapies and other senior dog specific services.

If you have a senior dog & you're a client, please let me know if this clinic is worth it!
