This is the article I read about it:
I've started taking DHM a while back for this same purpose! I think it works quite well and would recommend it to anyone. Besides prescription medicine I have yet to find anything better.

The study I read stated "Dihydromyricetin (DHM; 1 mg/kg, i.p. injection), a flavonoid component of herbal medicines, counteracted acute alcohol (EtOH) intoxication, and also withdrawal signs in rats including tolerance, increased anxiety, and seizure susceptibility"

I cant post links but copy that into google and you will find it.

If you are still searching for an easy to obtain natural way to decrease alcohol withdrawal and anxiety with no side effects, I would give DHM a try.
