When people who have been drinking for a long time have symptoms of hand tremors, they should pay attention to whether the patient is suffering from alcoholic encephalopathy or alcoholic peripheral neuropathy. This is because long-term, heavy alcohol consumption can affect the function of nerve cells in the patient’s brain, which can lead to neurological disorders in the long run. Patients may experience hand tremors, muscle weakness, tongue tremors, and possibly cortical atrophy in some patients, which are alcoholic encephalopathies. When patients have symptoms of hand tremors or have tongue tremors, they must pay attention to promptly checking head CT or head MRI to see if there is alcoholic encephalopathy, and they must promptly stop drinking. Because patients with alcoholic encephalopathy will lead to brain atrophy, manifesting as memory impairment and disorientation. Patients may have emotional and motor retardation, or when alcohol causes peripheral nerve damage, patients may experience numbness, tingling, and malnutrition in the hands.
