has anybody here suffered delirium tremors?

delirium tremens*

had the**roaches crawling the bed once. not fun.

i don't know what hell is like, it might be nice

Only had them once about 20 years ago. Several pints of bitter and then a load of brandy. Didn't drink brandy again for 10 years. Pretty scary.

Strangely enough I never suffered from DT's. When I was in an establishment of rehabilitation you'd see people come in and spend the first couple of days shaking so much you'd think were putting it on - you'd hand them a cup of tea and within twenty seconds the whole lot would be all over them. It was almost comical. Almost.

I like Silenece never heard tremors so can't comment.

what causes it

Being stupid

had 'em a few weeks ago after a heavy weekend ....2 words..."the fear"

Don't hear so much about the DT's these days. Wonder why that is. Can't be because people drink any less. Maybe cause so many people **ked up drugs nowadays, DT's seems less dramatic.

Never had them, and I've polished off an average of 6 pints a day for 40 years.

i had a bad time once listening to radio on in the 80s

believe that was known as the D L Ts


lol, eh eh !!!!!!!!!!!!!1

lol, you're too good for this place.

Mitch going by the guide lines your liver cant be too healthy mate.

Yes, you're quite correct, it isn't. Must try to cut down in the new year.

6 pints a day on average, the worrying think is that for the first 15 years I only averaged about 4. Getting dafter as I get old.

u haven't lived .. imo

i we once went out and had a pint of lager, then bitter, then cider, then guiness, happy days i think got to the 2nd guiness was so ill next day,

In which way Sunbeam?

Moonbeam I mean.

lol@ sunbeam, oh the rust you used to get on those talbots,

lol, used to have one, maybe that's where it came from.

put it there mitchell, quality man 1.01 it was brown

For any regular drinkers.
You don't get them after drinking, it is when you have been drinking for a few days and then have a day off it.
The other night, i was in bed, and heard a noise, like a bird flapping it's wings very fast.
I was wide awake, just about a yard ahead of me, down the bed, were cards, shuffling themselves.
I could see them clear as day, wide awake.
Another time, i jumped out of bed, knowing there was someone in the room.
The guy was right in front of me, i started throwing punches, till i realised it was me, not a mirror or anything.
The dog was going crazy wondering what was up, there was no one there.
So if you drink, a lot, remember it is not when you are drinking these things happen, it is the 1st day off it.

carry on drinking then chaps
