Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Its said that alcohol withdrawal can kill youHow can it kill you? That's insane!It can happen with as few as 12 pills.It's seriously that addictive? I was on codeine cough syrup for three months and I had no problem putting the bottle away when my cough was gone. Maybe it helped that I genuinely hated every single thing about it except for the cough relief.. ### Response: How can it kill you? That's insane!Since you don't appear to have gotten an answer. Two main ways. Alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures, which can be deadly, and alcohol withdrawal can cause something called delirium tremens. Delirium tremens is more of a form of withdrawal characterized by quick and varying changes in someones heart rate and blood pressure in such a way that it can kill (through irregular heart rate called arrhythmias) or a person can become unable to "protect their airway" so to speak and choke.Alcohol withdrawal isn't a pretty thing. BUT the good and bad news is that it varies a lot from person to person.https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/166032-overview.
