That's interesting and makes alcohol sound pretty menacing. I should read more about it. It definitely sounds like seizures and heart issues come up the most. Plus their livers are shot, so toxicity of normally benign treatments is a concern.
Also interesting that, in the very wealthy area we're in, outside of infants and the elderly, middle-aged white men going through alcohol withdrawal are the most common ICU patients.
(sorry for derailing discussion away from opioid addiction)
- wu_tang_chris 9y agoFWIW, you can die from alcohol withdrawal well before your liver is shot. Also, you don't need to have been drinking for decades; you can get yourself in that pickle in months, not years.
