What does it mean when an acholic goes into DT's?
I have a friend who told me he was in DT's and I can't figure out what that means.

It has been a long time since anyone posted back.

Either you all don't like me or you don't know the answer to my question.

I don't think it is because no one likes you. I personally don't have an answer to your question. I have heard that DTs are caused by the nervous system. You no longer have the alcohol that surpresses the nervous system and certain brain activity so it goes haywire. I do know DTs can cause seizures that can kill. That is why anyone who gets DTs should seek medical help immediately. One thing I learned in alcohol education is that alcohol is the only substance that can kill you during withdrawal.

I know that the times I quit, I would get the shakes for a day, maybe two. I always thought it was withdrawals and that it could escalate to DTs if I continued to drink.

I wish I could answer.

Best wishes,
TB
