I’ve been feeling unbelievably hot and somewhat dissociated. I sure hope that what I’m going through is alcohol withdrawal, because if it isn’t then I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

I have a friend that is a hardcore alcoholic, and was talking to me about the DT’s (delirium tremens). She said that during alcohol withdrawels she hallucinates, and hears things that aren’t there. She doesn’t do drugs, and this has been proven due to her last hospital stay for alcohol detox.

Could someone experienced in this, or someone that has witnessed this tell me about your experience?

I have been a habitual alcohol abuser for a long time. This current binge of 1 pint of whiskey and 7 beers every night for the last 5 months needs to end but I am afraid of Delirium Tremens. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Seizure caused by alcohol withdrawal. The coma came shortly after this and lasted for 5 days.

I’m a freshman pre-med student. I was just reading one of the questions which said the mortality rate from DT was 25%.
Could somebody explain what would cause death in this case? (in accessible terms please, I’m not past my microbiology and chemistry classes yet)
thanks for the answers! I’m sorry about the spelling/grammar mistakes (english is not my first language)

Seizure caused by alcohol withdrawal. These are the dt’s, also known as delirium tremens and are caused by the withdrawals from alcohol. Alcohol withdrawals can kill and everyone needs to know this.
