Right, you just described a typical alcoholic. :-)

When you detox, your body goes into repair mode, and begins using every last ounce of energy to clean itself. This is why it's important to force yourself to eat, even if you're not hungry. Your body needs all the food & energy it can get (assuming it's healthy food -- eg. lots of fish & veggies), because it's working overtime trying to fix all the damage you've done. Otherwise, your body is going to begin shutting down on you, which can cause DTs.
