Delirium tremens

Latin term (delir = to be mad or de lira ire = to go off the rails, tremere = to tremble) for a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of prolonged alcoholism. Alcohol delirium usually occurs in the context of alcohol withdrawal, but can also be triggered by alcohol intoxication. See under alcoholism.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
