What Causes Hand Tremors After Alcohol Consumption?
I have been drinking since I was 12 years old.Why does my left hand twitch after I drink alcohol or smoke marijuana? Is this a sign of liver disease? I only drink one beer and my left hand just starts like clock work. Is there anything I can do to fix it? How dangerous can this be for me? Does it make it more dangerous because it is on the left side?

long term alcohol consumptions leads to liver pathology
enecephalopathy causes hand tremors
or alcohol withdrawl also causing hand tremors
so need to identify proper cause
u have to undergo liver function test
if any pathology then treatment is must
if it is occur in withdrawal phase than need to adress that
but better to quit alcohol
it is for better life and better health
thank u
