Why Can Alcohol Withdrawal Be Dangerous?
Your body and brain have learned to work harder to keep your nerves communicating with one another in order to keep you awake if you have been drinking heavily for a long time. Your brain remains in this hyper "awake" state when you abruptly stop drinking. The symptoms of alcohol withdrawal are brought on by this.
Anxiety, shaky hands, headaches, nausea and vomiting, sweating, and insomnia are examples of mild withdrawal symptoms that typically appear six hours after quitting drinking. Seizures and hallucinations are more severe withdrawal symptoms that may be fatal or have long-term effects.
