A member asked:
Would eating very little make alcohol withdrawals happen more easily than if the person maintains a normal diet
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Alcohol withdrawal is a serious issue that can lead to delirium (confusion with hallucinations), seizures, and death. Eating or not eating dose not affect the speed and severity of withdrawal. Fortunately, it is a very treatable problem, although it may require hospitalization.
