A member asked:
If a person drinks typical bottle of alcohol a day for several years and stops drinking for two days, when would withdrawal start? can they die?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
48 to 72 hours: The operson may show severe withdrawal symptoms within 48 hours to 72 hours. These may include severe shaking and even seizures, which could cause life threatening problems. I would not advise abrupt discontinuation of alcohol. Please have this person see a physician for proper treatment.
