Which symptom is NOT typical of alcohol withdrawal?

• A. Tremors
• B. Sweating
• C. Hair loss
• D. Nausea

Answer: (C)

When someone stops heavy drinking, the body goes through a quick rebound as the brain and nervous system restart without alcohol’s depressant effect. The most common withdrawal signs come from this rebound: tremors are the hands shaking because the nervous system is suddenly more active, sweating happens as the body stays on high alert, and nausea appears from the gut reacting to the abrupt change. Hair loss isn’t part of this short-term rebound process; it tends to come from longer-term factors like nutrition, overall health, or liver stress, not the immediate withdrawal. So hair loss isn’t a typical withdrawal symptom. If withdrawal is suspected, especially with tremors, sweating, or nausea, seek medical advice since it can require supervision.
