Cycle of Wine withdrawal
Wine withdrawal manifests shortly after a person develops tolerance to drinking. It could take a month, a year or longer; however, once tolerance actually does develop, it can take the form of various physical and psychological symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. The longer wine abuse persists untreated, the worse withdrawal is likely to be. Just like symptoms, the timeline of wine withdrawal is different for everyone. Some people exhibit symptoms about eight hours after the first drink. Symptoms generally peak between 24-72 hours and in this time period, and decrease between five to seven days. The onset of withdrawal usually corresponds with the level of dependency.
