Brief Answer:
Measure body temperature

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but unusual tiredness and weak legs are not reported as side effects of alcohol withdrawal. However alcohol withdrawal can cause fever which can cause unusual tiredness, so I would recommend that you measure your body temperature.. I hope you find this helpful..
