Alcohol dependence is a very serious disease and withdrawal from such may very possibly result in death.
Typically, withdrawal will begin within 8 to 72 hours from the time of the last drink. Signs and symptoms of alcohol withdrawal include tachycardia, blood pressure instability, anxiety, and tremors.
If untreated, withdrawal may lead to delirium tremens, which is a severe form of withdrawal. In delirium tremens, seizures may develop, fevers, hallucinations, hypertension, and tachycardia. Death may result, and in fact delirium tremens has an approximately 35% mortality rate without treatment.
