Yes, again, it's just a general thing, might take more or less for different people. Plus as soon as that alcohol gets processed they might get thrown right back in to withdrawal, so it has to be something ongoing.
If they don't drink for a while, go through withdrawal and are on the other side, they may lose all those symptoms, or they can appear sporadically (or be ongoing for a long time - affects different people differently).
