An alcoholic can hardly be recognized as one until severe damage develops and he is brought for treatment to the hospital for liver damage or stomach ulcers. The hospital stay will eventually lead to the manifestations of withdrawal symptoms.

Alcoholics can be classified as psychological addiction and physical addiction. A psychological addiction to alcohol includes a craving for alcohol’s psychological effects but not to the extent of serious intoxication. Psychologically addicted drinkers exhibit anxiety and panic attacks when alcohol consumption is withdrawn.

On the other hand people with physical addiction to alcohol can have more serious signs when alcohol consumption is abruptly stopped. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms are manifested by sweating, sleeplessness, tremors, jumpiness, poor appetite, convulsions, hallucinations, and even death. Pulse rate will be highly increased; there will be nausea and vomiting.
