Les symptômes liés au sevrage de l'alcool sont généralement proportionnels à la quantité d'alcool ingérée de même qu'à la durée de l'alcoolisme. Toutefois, le facteur de risque le plus important quant à la gravité du syndrome de sevrage de l'alcool est le nombre de sevrages qu'a connu le patient par le passé. 2, record 1, French, - syndrome%20de%20sevrage%20alcoolique
