An alcoholic who has symptoms of shakiness, irritability, rapid heartbeat, and sweating is showing signs of...a: withdrawalb: intoxicationc: reverse toleranced: cirrhosis

Respuesta :

The answer that best fits the blank is the term WITHDRAWAL. When alcoholics start to feel shakiness, increased heartbeat, sweating and irritability, this clearly shows that he is suffering from alcohol withdrawal. What happens during withdrawal is that, the effects of the alcohol is starting to wear off. The body feels such symptoms because it has been used to having alcohol, and once the alcohol wears off, it shows unusual and uncomfortable symptoms.
