Can Alcoholism Cause Shaky Hands?

Can Alcoholism Cause Shaky Hands?

We all know that drinking too much alcohol can lead to some pretty unpleasant side effects. From feeling sick the next day to developing chronic health problems, excessive alcohol consumption can take a serious toll on our bodies. But did you know that alcoholism can also cause shaking hands?

While it’s not the most common symptom of alcoholism, shaky hands are a very real possibility for people who abuse alcohol. This is because alcohol disrupts the nervous system, which can lead to tremors and other neurological problems.

If you or someone you love is suffering from alcoholism, it’s important to get help as soon as possible. Alcoholism is a serious disease that requires professional treatment in order to overcome. If you’re not sure where to turn, consider reaching out to a local alcoholics anonymous group or speaking with a therapist who specializes in addiction.

Getting help for alcoholism is the best way to improve your overall health and wellbeing. If you’re struggling with an addiction to alcohol, don’t hesitate to reach out for help today.

When you're ready, we're here to listen.
