the shakes

Uncontrollable shakes caused by alcohol withdrawal. Getting drunk multiple times a day, every day, for many years is necessary to experience this. They start about 24 hours after your last drink, most notably in the hands and feet, and last for about 3 days unless you have a drink.

I ran out of money Bob, I haven't had a drink all day, I feel the shakes coming!
