Good luck to you both..alcohol seizures are so dangerous, by the time my brother had seizures his brain had shrunk one inch and ended up in a coma. and he was only 3 hours sober. be careful what you do. my prayers are with you..my brother passed three years later..

I would tell you boyfriend to go into an er and tell them and maybe they can get him into a detox program. His risk for seizures sound very high and it's sounds dangerous to go it alone.

No name is right the alcohol forum might help more. As my past experience as medical personnel I use to see Alcoholics start d.t.s in about 72 hours. Thats just a rough estimate. If you see that he will need a lot of support and maybe need medical help. We use to give Librium and start an I.V. for hydration and try to keep electrolytes balanced. I don't know what they do now.
I'm sure someone will know here, but theres also a alcohol forum you may find some help there too. It's just good to get all the info you need I've never w/d from alcohol, but from what I know it can be dangerous...I wish you guys the best, try to call him tonight and talk with him if you can or just check on him...Good luck wish I could be of more help
