Addiction Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
Hi,

The tremors, sweating and palpitations are signs of alcohol withdrawal. Over the last week, your body has got used to functioning in the presence of alcohol. So, it goes into withdrawal the moment your blood alcohol levels fall. That is why, these symptoms improve when you take a drink. If you continue drinking, you will soon become dependent on alcohol. I would suggest that you quit drinking and ask your doctor for medicines to help you tide over the withdrawal symptoms.

Best wishes.
