some of the following items, he/she is less likely to be
deficient in Thiamine:

Meat and Tuna.
However, people who drinks alcohol is an exception. Because
alcohol destroys Thiamins very fast. Plus most of people
eat less wheat based products and dairy products while they
drink alcohol (which means very low thiamine level already).
Therefore, additional Thiamine supplements is highly recommended
for these people. (Approx. 10-100 mg of Thiamine supplements
are needed daily)

Editors'
summary on Thiamine
Thiamine is a basic Vitamin B. It is
water-soluble. It works closely with other B vitamins. You
need Thiamine to convert food to energy and to keep your
brain, nervous system and heart running well. An healthy
adult should take between 1.1 to 1.2 mg of Thiamine every
day which is not very much. However, people who drink alcohol
regularly may need 10 or even 100 times more than the regular
amount. Overdose Thiamine is fairly safe, since it is water-soluble,
the excess amount can be washed out from your body daily.
Therefore, for certain people, especially the elders, taking
some extra Thiamin supplements is suggested.
