Delirium tremens or DT's is a medical term used to describe the shaking that alcoholics go through when they stop drinking alcohol. It usually takes a day or two of being sober to start, and can last for a few days, until the body completely detoxifies of the alcohol. There are medications that a doctor can prescribe that will help reduce the shaking.
Hope this helps!

It is alcohol withdrawal. People get can confused, agigated, and have tremors. Untreated (ie with alcohol or other drugs) patients have potential to fit.
Why are you asking?

dt's are a symptom of alcohol withdrawal. They consist of shaking uncontrollably, nausea, body cramps and in extreme cases hallucinations.
