Here is our sR Rule concerning medical advice...
10. Medical Advice: No Posts giving medical advice, medication advice, or psychiatric advice. Do not use the forum to give or ask for professional medical or psychiatric advice. If you are a medical professional, please remember the forums and chat are for peer support only and not to be used for distributing professional medical advice and/or using the forum to represent your professional services. Medical and Psychiatric advice includes giving a diagnosis, treatment plan, medication advice and dosage suggestions, over the counter and natural home remedies that should be approved by medical professionals. Detox can be dangerous and life threatening at times. Please consult with your physician.
We also have a link about de toxing from alcohol with info
and some of our experiences here....

http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...at-we-did.html

While this may not suit everyone's specific needs or situation.......I think it's very clear
that yes....withdrawal from alcohol can be dangerous if you do so alone.

BTW...my de tox experience is on that link and I did do it without professional assistance.
I was too and had no idea it was risky.
