When alcohol leaves the body can u begin or get the sweats?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Withdrawal: Alcohol is a sedative so the body compensates by increasing adrenaline response. When excess alcohol intake is suddenly decreased, it's like letting go of a tug of war rope. The person now feels effects of adrenaline response, like sweats, tremor, anxiety, high heart rate. This is alcohol withdrawal &can lead to fatal delirium &seizures. See a doctor right away if sweats &shakes are happening.
