Did you ever have the Delirium Tremens?

I used to get them so often as a Teenager/Early Adult at the height of my drinking years.
I would be so hung over that I could not drink for a couple days then the Tremens would start. Not pleasant

What happens? Whenever I drunk too much I’d fall asleep.

Mostly with me it was uncontrolled shaking of the hands. Profuse sweating and anxiety and a racing heart.
Simply I was in a poor state.

Do you abstain from alcohol now or are you able to moderate your intake?

I have not drunk alcohol for 21 years now. Not prepared to drink again.

The only bad experience I have had when drinking was the need to hang on to the bed while it spun at high speed.

A very common experience for me in my drinking days. :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve had that too…I was aged 16 on holiday with pals in Devon it was a hot day and I drank Scrumpy Cider as if it was lemonade…honest I was so poorly I kept climbing back on the bed and it spun me off again…I have never got so drunk since…very scary.

hair of the dog … works wonders.

I have never experienced anything like that.
My teenage years into 20’s were somewhat on the semi sober side because of my band. I needed to be totally compos mentis to run the band, so becoming pi$$ed was a no no.

Certainly stopped the shakes.
I remember sitting at the bar with the first beer, hand shaking so much the beer would be spilt.

I have not had a drink since the last one. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
