side effects from stopping alcohol
For some, quitting drinking can result in a dangerous withdrawal from alcohol. If you experience serious withdrawal and you donât get medical attention (detox), you could suffer from a seizure, or even death. Severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms include: Confusion and hallucinations (delirium tremens)
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms usually occur within 8 hours after the last drink, but can occur days later. Symptoms usually peak by 24 to 72 hours, but may go on for weeks. Common symptoms include: Anxiety or nervousness.
