Hey My dad has been an alcoholic for as long as I can remember. Hes always suffered with shaky hands in the morning as he doesn't drink till 12. We were out for lunch two days ago and his shaking was so bad and it was his whole body..he said he felt like he was panicking and couldn't pick his drink up, once he did finally get the drink down him he settled down. So I know it was the fact he needed to have a drink but I've never seen him like that. His face was also puffy looking and weird.. does this mean he's getting much worse? Will he die from this soon? Thanks in advance for any replys.
