Hello!
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic!
For your health concern, the symptoms you experience will depend on how much alcohol and how long you consumed.
It can range from mild irritation, agitation to delirium and hallucinations. It is a very important step you have taken to discontinue use of alcohol. It will be best to seek help from an addiction specialist who can help you through the process.
