Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is unlikely that you would have any symptoms or if they occur , may be mild.
Most symptoms start by the 6th to 72 hours after discontinuation.
Alcohol withdrawal delirium is the aspect of withdrawal that normally starts the latest at approximately 2 to 3 days. This involves hallucinations, agitation, increased pulse, increased blood pressure.
The other withdrawal conditions normally present before this time.
Since no symptoms are present then likely will not occur.
I hope this helps,feel free to ask any other questions
