Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS) remains one of the most frequently encountered yet potentially life-threatening presentations in acute and pre-hospital medicine. While it may initially present with tremor or anxiety, it exists on a spectrum that includes seizures and delirium tremens (DTs), both associated with significant morbidity and mortality and something paramedics and EMS staff need to be comfortable managing.
