Lots of vitamins have been investigated and actually are proven to work.
Vitamin deficiencies in some people can be extremely dangerous, some people can't absorb as much vitamins and minerals into the body as others due to certain illnesses or allergies (I have a citrus allergy so take vit c) others are not getting enough into the body due poor diet or to being vegetarian and not consuming enough animal product etc.
B deficiencies have been tested and linked to chronic fatigue, severe anaemia, Alzheimer's, skin conditions and lots more. (you know your Lunulas (halfmoons) on your fingernails? if they are gone then theres a good chance you have a B vitamin deficiency)
Vitamin C is great for repairing tissue in the body, skin disorders, healthy bones and teeth and so on.
Vitamin D which has already had it's daily recommendation raised by the Institute of Medicine is well documented in protecting bones and helps people with illnesses such as osteoporosis and similar.
These are just small examples.
Just because it's something you don't understand doesn't mean it's a placebo.
And most vitamins are used by the body as needed then the rest is disposed of safely anyway so there's no real harm in taking what you think you need.
You just keep enjoying your whiskies and let others do what they feel is best for them. Hey maybe you should get some vitamin C into you to help out your poor liver
