Hands Start “ Shaking

Carlos is a 25 year old male who works as a bartender in a major hotel. He works from 4 pm to 12 am 4 days a week. Due to the nature of his work, he usually engages with a lot of customers, and he is allowed to “have a few drinks at work.” He feels that his alcohol consumption is “probably getting out of control.” In his days off, he likes to have a few drinks during the day. He notices that if he stops drinking for a day, his hands start “shaking” and it goes away when he has a drink. He does not want to get hooked on alcohol, so he came to the clinic for help to quit. He is willing to try anything to get clean and sober.
