Ever wonder what you can do if someone is going through alcohol withdrawal? What should you not do? Firstly, You should not give them coffee or water to hydrate them or wake them up. Secondly, you should not make them exercise or get in the shower to ‘sober up’. Thirdly, you should not leave alone to ‘sleep it off’, as they might die. None of these things work.
